LOCATION

Poltisco Wharf is a superb location in Truro – close to the heart of the city, situated on the river, with stunning panoramic views down the Truro River and upstream to the city and Truro’s magnificent cathedral. 3 Ref: LCAA7539 Boscawen Park, about ½ a mile further along Malpas Road beside the river, includes tennis courts, football and cricket fields and a children’s play area, whilst 1 mile further along the road lies the idyllic village of Malpas at the confluence of the Truro and Rivers, with its boatyard, regular pleasure boat trips to Falmouth along the River Fal and Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) and also the well known Heron Inn. There are delightful riverside walks to the village of St. Clement and to Tresillian.

The city centre of Truro is within a very easy, level walk from Poltisco Wharf. The beautiful mostly cobbled Georgian and Victorian streets that surround Truro cathedral are filled with many local and national retailers along with bars, restaurants and cafés. On Lemon Quay piazza is a flagship Marks & Spencer store. Truro also has a multi-screen cinema, football and rugby clubs, sports centres with indoor pools and numerous other clubs and societies one would expect of the county’s capital city. Just a short drive leads to numerous superstores including a recently opened Waitrose and children’s schooling is within walking distance including the independent Truro School and for Girls. Truro is centrally placed within the county and it is little more than 15 minutes’ drive to the creeks and sailing waters on the south coast or to the dramatic surfing beaches of the north coast.

DESCRIPTION

7 Poltisco Wharf is a remarkable city house fronting directly on Truro’s historic waterfront and one of just a handful of very distinctive residences built 2001/2002, designed by the highly respected Truro based architects Lilly Lewarne. The properties form an exclusive ‘landmark’ enclave approached off Malpas Road through an electrically operated entrance gate.

Of distinct contemporary style architecture using carefully chosen materials blending with the nearby converted Edwardian brick built warehouse building – now luxury apartments 4 Ref: LCAA7539 reminiscent of London’s Docklands. The exterior elevations are in red engineering brick with slate window sills and gun metal grey aluminium framed windows with sealed unit double glazing under deep overhanging gabled eaves. The riverside elevation is largely glass on all four floors of the house taking best advantage of the waterside position and fine river views down and upstream to the city of Truro dominated by its magnificent cathedral. At ground floor level is a delightful riverside patio directly above the water with the benefit of a mooring pole and ability to moor a boat up to 17’ in length. At first floor a generous balcony opens off the magnificent principal living space and on the second and third floors French doors open inward to reveal glazed Juliet balconies.

This is a wonderfully spacious house, extremely well planned with four large double bedrooms and four bath or shower rooms appointed to the very highest standard of contemporary design with a mix of high end sanitaryware, clever design touches and heated tiled floors.

The two upper floor bedrooms have high vaulted ceilings and exposed feature wood beams and trusses. Balustrades to the staircases and landings are in plate glass with polished 5 Ref: LCAA7539 beech hand rails. Doors are in light wood veneer with crisp modern chrome plated door furniture.

The entire first floor of the house comprises a stunning open-plan living space some 40’ in length with a generous cantilevered balcony facing out over the river. This spectacular room has been transformed by our clients with the introduction of heated metre square porcelain tiled flooring and extensive German made matt white fronted units under matching composite Silestone worktops with integrated lighting. Other recent improvements include the distinctive industrial style cast iron radiators found throughout the building and the creation of a superb utility room on the ground floor. Also on the ground floor is the reception hall, a garage currently used as a gymnasium and a lounge opening onto the riverside terrace.

For the buyer with the most demanding standards who seeks the very best in luxurious contemporary city living right on the waterfront, viewing is, quite simply, a must.
