Description

This semi-detached Victorian house, a rare find on the market for over forty years, offers significant renovation and investment potential in a desirable area of Truro. The property is conveniently located just a short stroll from the city center, providing easy access to local shops, schools, and amenities. The home features five bedrooms and a variety of living spaces, including a sitting room, lounge, dining room, and a kitchen/breakfast room. The traditional layout spans two floors, with generous windows that invite ample natural light. Notably, the sitting room and lounge boast charming bay windows while the bedrooms provide lovely views of the surrounding areas. Retaining many original features such as high ceilings, sliding sash windows—some with secondary glazing—and period fireplaces, this property has been well-maintained but is ready for modern updates to enhance its appeal. The wet room and separate WC are practical additions that could benefit from contemporary renovation. Outdoors, the private rear garden offers an inviting space with afternoon sun exposure and impressive vistas towards Kenwyn Church. The garden is enclosed for privacy, making it ideal for families or pets. Additional structures include useful outbuildings for storage or possible workshop use. Parking is available via a driveway leading to a garage equipped with an electric door; there is also potential to improve or repurpose surrounding outdoor space. Recent updates include gas central heating and upgraded electrical systems. Located near Archbishop Benson Primary School and within walking distance of Truro's vibrant commercial district—including shops like Marks & Spencer and Waitrose—this property combines residential comfort with investment opportunity. With no onward chain affecting potential buyers, this home presents an excellent chance to create a modern living space while preserving its unique character and charm.
