LOCATION
Penweathers lies on the South Western side of the city and is easily approached by two minor country roads which lead directly off the A390 Truro to Threemilestone main road. The shopping centre of Truro itself is little more than a mile from the property and hence there is easy access to the Cathedral, Hall for Cornwall, a range of private and state schools and also a main line railway link to London (Paddington). Penweathers lies close to the sailing waters of the Fal Estuary, Falmouth is about nine miles away and the north Cornish coast at St. Agnes and Perranporth a similar distance.

PLANNING PERMISSION
Planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on 31st October 2014 (reference number PA14/09077) for "Conversion of garage to annexe accommodation" and occupied by members of the family, or non-paying guests of Rosella. The proposed annexe will have one bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and additional w.c.
Please note: It is believed that the building work carried out on the garage whilst the planning permission was live is a lawful material commencement of building work. Therefore the planning permission will not now expire. Prospective purchasers will have to satisfy themselves of this if they wish to convert the garage.
GARDENS
The gardens are delightful and are a perfect complement to the cottage. Slate steps leads from the driveway to a level lawn where there is a summer house and the lawn is enclosed within mature shrubs and plants, providing colour and interest. Steps leads to a slightly raised lawn which is the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine with fabulous uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside sheltered by a high Cornish stone retaining wall. The slate path continues to a further paved terrace which enjoins the afternoon and evening sun with plenty of sitting out of space for tables and chairs and a small level lawn. An attractive rockery with substantial boulders is planted with a variety of perennials, shrubs and plants, and the path continues to the conservatory. Here there is a slate tiled patio and barbeque area with a built in bench and perfectly located for easy access from the kitchen for outside dining. At the front of Rosella is a wide gravel terrace that enjoys a southerly aspect with doors opening to the snug and sitting room. A wooden pedestrian gateway leads to the lane and the path continues to a very useful wooden store, perfect for the recycling, bins, etc.
