Description

This property presents a unique opportunity with two independent dwellings situated on an expansive half-acre lot, showcasing significant renovation and investment potential. The main residence features a two-bedroom cabin that offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Its spacious living area includes bi-fold doors that provide a seamless connection to the outdoors, while the Shaker-style kitchen is equipped with timber worktops and a solid fuel Esse range, blending functionality with character. Adjacent to this main home is a separate one-bedroom dwelling, which comes with a certificate of lawful use, establishing its status as an independent residential unit. This arrangement enhances its versatility, making it suitable for multigenerational living or as guest accommodation. Furthermore, the presence of a large garage/workshop opens up possibilities for additional development or conversion projects, allowing future owners to unlock even greater value from the site. The grounds are enriched by various outbuildings—including studios, a greenhouse, and storage sheds—ideal for creative pursuits or gardening enthusiasts. The mature gardens and orchard areas provide a serene setting with ample space for outdoor activities or further landscaping developments. A hidden "secret garden" adds charm and privacy to the landscape, offering tranquil spots for relaxation. Located in Tomperrow, a picturesque valley between Threemilestone and Baldhu, this property enjoys easy access to Truro’s amenities while maintaining its rural appeal. Local conveniences such as pubs, shops, hairdressers, pharmacies, and takeaways are just minutes away. Additionally, proximity to major transport routes like the A30 enhances connectivity to both coasts. This freehold property benefits from mains electricity and water services along with private drainage and solid fuel heating. It’s important for prospective buyers to conduct due diligence regarding planning permissions or necessary consents before proceeding with any renovations or conversions. In summary, this dual-dwelling setup not only offers immediate living options but also presents multiple avenues for investment through renovation or redevelopment in a desirable location near Truro.
