Cliff Cottage is a handsome detached Cornish house dating from c.1842, set on a raised plot with uninterrupted views over the Truro River. The main house delivers generous, well-presented accommodation including three double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities, a vaulted sitting/dining room with balcony and river outlook, and a modern kitchen/breakfast room leading to a south-facing sun terrace. The property feels understated from the road but opens up to reveal significant space and character inside and out.
A significant practical benefit is the detached one-bedroom ancillary cottage, The Nook, which has a strong history as a holiday rental and provides flexible use for guests, multi-generational living, or additional income. There is off-street parking for four cars and private, mature gardens with pathways down to the terrace that captures all-day sun and river vistas—ideal for alfresco dining and relaxing by the water.
Buyers should note a few material facts: the property uses oil-fired central heating (not a community supply), has private drainage, and the granite external walls are assumed to be uninsulated. The Energy Performance Certificate is band E and the main house sits in Council Tax Band F, so running costs and potential retrofit work should be factored into any decision. Despite these considerations, broadband and mobile coverage are good and the location is served by local amenities and river transport to Truro.
This house will suit buyers looking for substantial riverside living with scope for lifestyle-led income or multi-generational arrangements. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the river outlook, the accommodation flow and the tranquil setting in this sought-after Malpas village location.
