Set in a quiet, traffic-free terrace in the heart of Truro, this compact two-bedroom cottage pairs period character with practical modern upgrades. A south-facing front garden leads to a cosy living room, a fitted kitchen and a covered rear courtyard — useful for storage or sheltered outdoor use. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom with a white suite. The property enjoys striking views of Truro Cathedral from the upper floor.
This home sits in a conservation area close to shops, pubs and highly regarded local schools, making it a convenient choice for first-time buyers or buyers seeking a city-centre rental. The house is freehold with mains gas central heating, double glazing fitted after 2002 and very low council tax (Band A), supporting affordable running costs.
Buyers should note the property is small (c. 453 sq ft) and was built before 1900 with granite walls likely without insulation — there is scope and probable need for thermal improvements. Broadband is reported as very slow, which may affect home working. Conservation-area status and the age of the building may restrict major external alterations. Overall, this is a charming, centrally located cottage with good rental or starter-home potential, best suited to those comfortable with a compact, older dwelling and modest improvement works.
