Description

This three-bedroom detached property, located just one mile from the heart of Truro, presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and personalisation. The home currently features a traditional layout with two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast area, two utility rooms, and a cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a bathroom that await modern updates. Set on a mature plot of approximately 0.18 acres, the property also benefits from an attached garage and ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles. Although it features gas central heating and double glazing, significant refurbishment is needed to realise its full potential. Given its desirable location in Bodmin Road—an area known for its excellent access to local amenities, schools, and transport links—this residence is ripe for expansion or reconfiguration (subject to necessary planning permissions). With proper renovations, this property could become an ideal family home or investment opportunity in a sought-after part of Cornwall.
