Description
An interesting and highly adaptable homestead that could suit somebody needing space to work from home, or potential for multi-generational living, set within 5.73 acres, only moments by car from Truro City centre.
The Property
A detached former farmhouse, believed by its current owners to be in the region of 200 years old and which during their 14 years custody has been extended and improved to create a flexible family home.
At ground floor there is a dual height entrance hall, downstairs wc, bright lounge, second living room/dining room, study and a large kitchen.
At first floor there are three bedrooms, the master with en-suite, shower room, family bathroom and linhay.
Practical improvements include double glazing, a wood pellet powered boiler for hot water, cooking and central heating, complemented by a solar water heating system.
Outside there is a part block / part timber barn (13.28m x 7.87m) together with a single storey outbuilding (7.22m x 6.23m), currently used as a workshop/studio and has insulated walls together with a PV array, generating electricity aiding the economical running of the house. There is a small shed (formerly housing an electric kiln for pottery) and two further stores for garden equipment, bicycles etc.
The extensive gardens enjoy a bright open aspect with a small orchard to one corner. The gardens open into a slightly sloping paddock approaching 4 acres, which in turn drops down to a steeper section of around 2 acres, which has been planted with young trees. From the paddock the property enjoys the most wonderful views over the beautiful wooded Idless Valley and towards Carland Cross countryside.
