GENERAL COMMENTS
6 Belmont Terrace is a beautifully presented and very charming character cottage. It has been updated and improved by our clients during their ownership including the addition of a large rear extension creating a fabulous kitchen/dining room and larger master bedroom above. It is much larger than it looks from outside. It is very attractive with stone elevations and sliding sash windows to the front. The cottage occupies a much sought after position within the village with views of the creek and beyond over the wooded Carclew Estate. There are three bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The two front bedrooms have excellent creek and countryside views. The ground floor includes a hallway, sitting room with views, large kitchen/dining room with modern units and integral appliances, utility and cloakroom. The south facing garden has been landscaped and is beautifully maintained with lawns and many mature trees, shrubs and plants. A large terrace provides lots of sitting out space and has excellent views. At the bottom of the garden is driveway parking for two vehicles. There is excellent outdoor storage including two sheds and the rear courtyard has an outhouse and access onto the rear lane. There is gas fired central heating. An internal viewing is essential.
LOCATION
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.
