Summary - Truck House, Probus TR2 4JA
5 bed 5 bath Country House
Five-bed house with separate studio and large mature gardens near Probus.
Four bedrooms in main house plus self-contained studio annexe
Truck House is a substantial early-1800s former coaching inn, now a four-bedroom family home with a self-contained studio annexe. The main house keeps many character features — fireplaces, sash windows with shutters, exposed beams and slate or engineered oak floors — while offering modern comforts such as a sympathetically updated kitchen, garden room with bi-fold doors and an EPC rating of C. Solar panels reduce running costs and the property benefits from oil-fired central heating and double glazing installed after 2002.
The attached Coach House studio provides open-plan living downstairs and a spiral staircase to a large first-floor bedroom, ideal for rental income, multi-generational living, or a home office. The property sits in a small rural cluster near Probus, with easy access to Truro, St Austell and the A30; local schools include a good-rated primary and an outstanding secondary nearby.
The gardens are a standout: above-average, mature and productive, with lawns, shrub borders, vegetable area, timber decking and a sizeable shed/workshop. The plot is large and offers privacy and scope for landscaping or small-scale diversification.
Important practical points: the house is constructed of sandstone likely without cavity insulation, so further fabric improvements may be required to maximise energy efficiency. Heating runs on oil (not a community supply), and the annexe has a spiral staircase which may limit accessibility for some buyers. Overall the property suits a family seeking character and space, or a purchaser wanting an income-producing annexe.
