Spacious adaptable home with large gardens and generous driveway parking.
Detached 1930s dormer bungalow with period features and modernised interior
Set in a semi-rural pocket of Truro yet only about a mile from the city centre, this 1930s detached dormer bungalow blends period character with a modern, open-plan living heart. The ground floor features a wide entrance hall, flexible 3/4 bedroom accommodation and a bright triple-aspect living/kitchen with quality integrated appliances and a useful utility. Two further double bedrooms and a shower room occupy the first-floor dormer level.
Outside, the large, landscaped plot delivers sunny front and rear gardens, a raised deck with pergola and abundant driveway parking for several vehicles — ideal for families or those who regularly host. The property has been well maintained throughout and is presented in move-in condition, with double glazing (post-2002) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Practical points to note: the house is solid-brick as built (1930s) and external wall insulation is assumed absent, so there is scope to improve thermal efficiency and reduce running costs; the current energy rating sits around 58 with potential to reach about 80. The home is freehold, not at flood risk, and a mundic test (2010) returned an A/B assignment making mortgage finance available. Local amenities, good schools and direct access to countryside walks add to the appeal.
This property will suit buyers seeking convenient city access combined with a quiet, rural-feeling setting and generous outside space. Those wanting the absolute best energy performance should budget for insulation or other efficiency upgrades, but for purchasers who prioritise location, presentation and flexible living, this bungalow offers an immediately comfortable and attractive home.
