A SUBSTANTIAL FOUR-BEDROOM CHARACTER HOME WITH OUTBUILDINGS, SET IN APPROXIMATELY 2.77 ACRES

Woodview represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country property set within approximately 2.77 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland.

Enjoying considerable privacy and far-reaching rural views, the overall package combines a four-bedroom detached house, three enclosed paddocks and a range of outbuildings in a highly convenient position between Truro and Falmouth.

General Comments - Woodview represents a rare opportunity to acquire a remarkably versatile rural property occupying approximately 2.77 acres in a highly convenient position between Truro and Falmouth. The overall package comprises a detached four-bedroom character house, established gardens, three enclosed paddocks, areas of woodland and a range of outbuildings, all enjoying considerable privacy and attractive countryside views.

Held by the same family for more than 60 years, the property now offers an increasingly uncommon opportunity for comprehensive renovation or even development of the site. Although the house requires substantial updating, it is the combination of accommodation, land, ancillary buildings and accessibility that gives Woodview its particular appeal.

The Property - The detached house provides approximately 1,933 sq ft of flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. Three reception rooms, a kitchen, study, utility room and shower room occupy the ground floor, with four bedrooms and a family bathroom above.

Thick walls, deep window reveals, beamed and timber-lined ceilings and an ornate cast-iron range contribute to its individual character. Comprehensive refurbishment is now required, providing an excellent opportunity to renovate and reconfigure the accommodation to suit individual requirements, subject to any necessary consents.

Gardens And Grounds - Woodview stands within approximately 2.77 acres and is approached over a private drive shared with just one neighbouring property. The drive leads to a generous parking and turning area adjoining the house and outbuildings.

Established gardens surround the house, beyond which lie three enclosed fields or paddocks defined by mature hedged boundaries. Areas of woodland provide further privacy, shelter and natural interest, while the land enjoys attractive views across the surrounding countryside. Together with the outbuildings, the gardens, paddocks and woodland create an unusually adaptable rural package offering plenty of potential.

Location - Woodview occupies a private rural setting conveniently positioned between the cathedral city of Truro and the harbourside town of Falmouth. Both centres provide an extensive range of shops, schools, leisure facilities and transport connections, while the surrounding area offers ready access to countryside walks, creeks and the sailing waters of the Carrick Roads.

The location offers an appealing balance of seclusion and accessibility, with the A39 providing straightforward connections to Truro, Falmouth and the wider county. Nearby villages cater for many everyday needs, while mainline rail services are available from Truro and branch-line connections serve Falmouth.
