Set opposite Boscawen Park and a level walk into Truro, this much‑improved, Cornelius‑designed detached home sits within about half an acre of mature, private gardens. The house offers comfortable family living with two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a study and four bedrooms arranged over two storeys, plus useful outbuildings and parking. Full‑width terraces, a pergola and a south‑westerly aspect make the gardens a genuine selling point for outdoor living and entertaining.
Practical strengths include a double garage with additional turning/parking space, good mobile signal and a no‑flood‑risk location. The property was constructed in 1927 and carries period character throughout; a Mundic test result of A1 is recorded. It has been improved and is presented for immediate family occupation while still offering scope to update services and decoration to personal taste.
Buyers should note a few material facts: main heating runs from an LPG boiler (bottled fuel), broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation. There is a single family bathroom plus separate WC, and council tax is band F (described as expensive). Crime levels in the wider area are above average, and the wider neighbourhood indicators show higher deprivation — all factual context for those considering schools, commutes and services.
This is a traditional, well‑situated family home that balances immediate liveability with clear potential for targeted investment in insulation, heating and connectivity. It will particularly suit buyers who prioritise large private gardens, proximity to parkland and easy access to Truro’s amenities.
