THE PROPERTY
Trewinnard Court is a development of considerable character and historic significance. Originally constructed in 1911 as Truro Cathedral School, the building was thoughtfully converted in 1999 into a collection of high-quality residences, and is now regarded as one of Truro’s most distinguished and sought-after addresses.
Number 1 is a magnificent and beautifully proportioned townhouse, understood to be the largest within Trewinnard Court. Arranged over three floors, the property offers elegant, well-balanced accommodation throughout, complemented by a delightful south-west facing garden. Opportunities to acquire a home of this calibre within the city are rare, and an early viewing is highly recommended.
LOCATION
1 Trewinnard Court enjoys an enviable position within the highly sought-after Kenwyn area of Truro, widely regarded as one of the city’s most desirable residential settings. Situated just a short distance from the historic Kenwyn Church and within easy reach of the city centre.
A particular highlight of the location is its immediate access to beautiful surrounding countryside. A quiet lane nearby leads to the picturesque hamlet of Idless, renowned for its woodland walks and cycle trails, providing a wonderful lifestyle amenity quite literally on the doorstep.
Truro itself offers an excellent range of both national and independent boutique shops, together with a vibrant selection of restaurants, cafés and bars. Cultural and leisure facilities are equally impressive, including the Hall for Cornwall, the Royal Cornwall Museum and the city’s iconic cathedral.
The city is well served by both state and private schooling, along with a mainline railway station providing a direct link to London Paddington.
For those with an interest in outdoor pursuits, the north coast’s renowned surfing beaches and the sailing waters of the Carrick Roads on the south coast are both easily accessible, making this an ideal base from which to enjoy the very best of Cornwall.
