A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace a short walk from Truro city centre and the main railway station. The property offers a cosy living room with a feature fireplace, a generous dining room, and a modern kitchen opening toward the enclosed rear garden — well suited to first-time buyers seeking character close to local shops and transport.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, cheap council tax (Band B) and ultrafast broadband — useful for home working. The rear garden provides private outdoor space with a patio, lawn and shed; parking permits are available locally.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house is a solid stone mid-terrace (likely original granite walls with no cavity insulation), so heating costs and insulation upgrades may be needed. Planning permission for a single-storey kitchen extension was previously granted in 2017 but has lapsed. Surveyors have flagged that any extension may be partly single-skin construction — check mortgage criteria and lender requirements.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located starter home with sensible modern updates inside, clear potential to improve energy efficiency and extend subject to refreshed permission. Its city-centre convenience, low crime level and fast broadband make it particularly appealing to first-time buyers wanting an affordable foothold in Truro.
