The rear garden is enclosed within a high stone wall and is full of colour and well stocked with many specimen shrubs and plants. There are lots of sitting out spaces enjoying the sunny aspect and pleasant views. The house had a brand new natural slate roof this year and benefits from mains gas fired central heating. The majority of windows have bespoke secondary glazing. An internal viewing is essential.
LOCATION
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.
Boscawen Park is just a short walk from the property, perfect for families and those looking for large green space on the outskirts of the city. The Truro Towns Fund have granted their first payment to start building the Boscawen Sport and Recreation Hub, which will focus on the health and wellbeing for people of all ages and abilities.
The creekside village of Malpas lies approximately two miles to the south east of the Cathedral city of Truro, which is Cornwalls main administrative centre with an excellent selection of shopping, business and schooling facilities with the main line rail link to London (Paddington). Malpas is in a delightful waterside location with nearby river and creekside walks, boat yard and popular eating house called the Heron Inn. In the summer months there are river trips that can take you out into the Carrick Roads to the port of Falmouth which is the gateway to some of the UK's finest day sailing waters with various sailing clubs in the vicinity and Falmouth being the third largest natural harbour in the world which is also home to the National Maritime museum and the renowned Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.
