This substantial five-bedroom, three-bath detached bungalow sits on an exceptionally private plot of about 0.64 acres in sought-after Kenwyn, just a short distance from Truro city centre. With over 3,500 sq ft of single-storey accommodation and a south-facing orientation, the house delivers generous, adaptable living spaces and abundant natural light from large windows.
The mature, profusely stocked gardens and sheltered setting create a tranquil family environment with excellent privacy, ideal for outdoor hobbies, entertaining or simply enjoying the grounds. Nearby schooling options include highly rated primary and secondary choices, and local bus links provide straightforward access to town amenities.
This is a probate sale offering clear potential to add value. The property dates from the late 1960s–1970s, has cavity walls (assumed uninsulated), double glazing of unknown age and oil-fired central heating via boiler and radiators. These elements present opportunities for energy-efficiency upgrades and cosmetic modernisation to suit a new owner’s tastes.
Buyers should note material facts: the sale is to close an estate (probate sale), the home likely requires updating and insulation improvements, heating runs on oil, and council tax is described as quite expensive. For a purchaser seeking significant space, privacy and scope for improvement in a prime Truro setting, this bungalow represents a rare opportunity.
