Set right in the heart of Truro, this two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage offers a compact, characterful home within easy walking distance of shops, rail links and local schools. The layout is traditional and straightforward: sitting room, kitchen/dining room, rear porch/utility, two bedrooms and a bathroom, with a small south-west facing rear garden and permit parking on-street. Being sold freehold and chain-free makes it an appealing, move-in-soon option for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor.
The property retains period features and a stone façade that provide immediate kerb appeal. Internally the accommodation is best described as cosy — rooms are average in size and ceiling heights are standard — and there is clear scope to modernise the kitchen, bathroom and fittings to raise comfort and value. The rear garden is terraced and low-maintenance, useful for outdoor sitting or storage with a timber shed included.
Important practical points are stated plainly: glazing was installed before 2002 and the walls are original granite/whinstone (assumed without insulation), so buyers should expect improvement works to thermal performance. Records note a boiler in the rear porch storage but also list electric heating; the electrical circuit, appliances and heating system have not been tested and should be inspected. EPC D and Council Tax band B reflect a middle-ground running-cost profile.
For buyers seeking central convenience, rental potential or a starter home that can be upgraded over time, this terraced cottage presents a sensible purchase. Budget for modernisation and possible insulation or heating works when assessing overall cost and return on investment.
