General Comments - The Driffold is situated along Devoran Lane, a highly desirable position within the village and ideally located for the Primary school. The house offers light and spacious accommodation throughout with high ceilings and large windows. The property has a conventional layout over two floors as well as boasting a very useful cellar.

The Property - This is a splendid period property which is full of character throughout. The entrance is delightful with a vestibule opening to the entrance hall with a beautiful stained glass door and windows along with deep skirting boards and a tessellated tiled floor. The gorgeous, well proportioned sitting room has a stunning bay window which faces South West and enjoys a wonderful sunny aspect in the afternoons along with an open fire place for cosy winter nights.

The dining/breakfast room is a very good size too with a small kitchen to the rear as well as a very useful cellar, an ideal pantry and store space.

A turning staircase opens to the landing where there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The two front bedrooms enjoy the incredible views of the upper reaches of the creek and overlook the front gardens.

At the rear of the house there is a parking area for 2 cars as well as an area for sitting out and which currently houses a garden shed.

Devoran - Devoran lies about five miles south west of Truro, just off the A39 Truro to Falmouth road and at the head of the Restronguet Creek which is a tributary of the river Fal. Local facilities include the Church, pub, doctors surgery and primary school whilst further facilities including a supermarket are located in nearby Carnon Downs. The area is well known for its scenic attractions and although the creek is tidal there are many walkways in the area including the "tramway" along the edge of the creek to Point and Penpol. The city of Truro and the harbour town of Falmouth are both within easy driving distance. The village also benefits from a regular bus service.

Truro - Truro is renowned for its excellent shopping centre, fine selection of restaurants, bars, private and state schools and main line railway link to London (Paddington). The Hall for Cornwall is also a popular venue providing all year round entertainment and other cultural facilities include the Royal Cornwall Museum and the historic Cathedral.

Falmouth - The historic port of Falmouth has undergone major redevelopment in recent years with huge investment and is now thriving. The town has an excellent range of everyday facilities including banks, building societies, restaurants, schools and colleges as well as a branch railway line providing regular access to Truro. The harbour and beaches are significant attractions of the town and since 2003 Falmouth has also been home to the National Maritime Museum. For sailing enthusiasts there is direct access to Carrick Roads and the River Fal and several yacht marinas close by. It also has its own university with a campus at Woodlane and Tremough.
