Idless, Truro

Description

ENCLOSED GARDEN/ORCHARD JUST OVER A MILE FROM THE CITY LIMITS

A small parcel of land within the hamlet of Idless, close to Truro
Previously an allotment and now predominantly in grass with apple orchard.
Cornish hedge boundaries with pedestrian access from the adjacent road.

Of particular interest to those living nearby.

Freehold.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a small parcel of land in one of the most favoured rural hamlets just outside of Truro. Owned by a local family for many years the land is now surplus to requirements and its availability will be ideal for anyone living locally and wanting an allotment /garden/orchard to annex to their property or alternatively it might appeal to someone living further afield and needing a tranquil rural space for outdoor leisure.

The land is largely enclosed by cornish hedging and/or trees and lies adjacent to a minor country road from which there is pedestrian access.

Please be aware that much of Idless, including the "Garden Plot" is covered by a blanket Tree Preservation Order (TPO).

Idless is essentially a quiet country hamlet accessed by various minor country roads either directly from Truro or Shortlanesend. Its proximity to Truro and the undeveloped nature of the surroundings add greatly to its residential appeal whilst the city itself is just a few minutes drive away and with the centre now recognised as the business and administrative centre of the county and boasting a fine shopping centre and a host of national and smaller independent shops. The city includes the historic cathedral, the Hall for Cornwall as well as County Hall and the Treliske hospital which is the main hospital for the county. Truro also affords a variety of independent and comprehensive schools.

There are no services connected to the land. However mains water is believed to be located in the adjacent roadway but any enquiries regarding connection should be directed to the appropriate service authority. The same applies to electricity.
