DESCRIPTION

• The availability of The Vineyard represents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a good sized house, outbuildings and land in a highly convenient location, within walking distance from Truro city centre.

• The original house, constructed 1849 has five double bedrooms (one on the ground floor, four on the first) and ready for immediate occupation but offers great scope for further improvement and enjoys a bright southerly aspect over its own gardens and across the valley.

• Gardens and grounds are extensive and surround the house on three sides with two gated entrances onto Tregolls Road and extend in total to approximately 0.72 of an acre, the rarity of such large plots in central locations cannot be over emphasised.

• The Vineyard benefits from an extensive range of both traditional and modern outbuildings. These include a huge two storey barn (approximate measurements of 3 Ref: LCAA7591 80’ x 22’) and further traditional stone piggery, both dilapidated but offering great scope for redevelopment/replacement (subject of course to gaining necessary consents). In addition, there are further modern outbuildings including a timber pole barn, storage shed and former railway carriage.

• The property enjoys a bright southerly aspect with gently sloping gardens enjoying a high degree of privacy and seclusion behind mature tree and hedge borders.

We fully expect a tremendous amount of interest from a wide variety of potential purchasers including, but not limited to, private buyers wishing to enhance the main dwelling and use the large gardens and outbuildings for private use, commercial purchasers and/or developers looking either to expand upon the current house and outbuildings or remove them and replace with additional buildings for either office or residential uses, all of course subject to gaining necessary consents. In recent years there has been a 13 new house development in close proximity to this site and it would certainly seem feasible to remove the outbuildings and possibly the existing house to build apartments, townhouses or several large detached homes, all of which could have exceptional resale values due to its special location (please of course be aware that all changes from the existing will require all necessary consents to first be gained).

LOCATION

The Vineyard is located in the eastern outskirts of the city centre in a sought after residential location within walking distance of the city centre amenities. Truro is regarded as the main retail, administrative and commercial centre for Cornwall and offers a wide range of shopping, schooling and leisure facilities together with the architecturally award winning county court, Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) and a multitude of offices and businesses. Truro is located at the head of the which flows into the and thence into the Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary). The river continues to play an important role in Truro’s character, with the River Kenwyn running through Victoria Gardens and the city and with Boscawen Park on the bans for Truro River setting the scene for a picturesque walk past the cricket ground and over to Malpas.

Centred around the cathedral, cobbled streets lead off to a variety of specialist shops with most national retailers represented. The Hall for Cornwall has provided Truro and the county with a fantastic cultural venue which allows the opportunity to visit the theatre and have a meal at one of the city’s varied range of restaurants followed by a gentle stroll home. There are also a number of junior, nursery and secondary schools including private schooling at Truro School and Truro High, which are widely regarded as two of the county’s finest schools.

Walks abound in the area, through the more historic parts and gardens of Truro into nearby unspoilt countryside and within a short drive are the creeks and beaches of the south coast or the more rugged dramatic clifftops of the north coast.
