Higher Parklands is set above and significantly back from Tregolls Road at the end of an approximately 400ft. private no-through lane which leads to just four properties in a peaceful enclave. Situated towards the outskirts of the city centre in a sought after residential location and within walking distance of the city centre amenities. Truro is regarded as the main retail, administrative and commercial centre for Cornwall and offers a very 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) and out into Falmouth Bay. Truro offers an active port, although Falmouth approximately 12 miles distant took much of the responsibility for the area during the last century. The river however, continues to play an important part in Truro’s character, with the River Kenwyn running through Victoria Gardens and the city and with Boscawen Park on the banks of the 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 to 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 nursery, junior and secondary schools within walking distance and there is private schooling at Truro School and Truro High School 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 beeches of the south coast or the more rugged dramatic clifftops of the north coast.

The availability of Higher Parklands represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a highly individual, distinctive family home of character, charm and magnificent proportions in a sought after location with excellent access to the city’s numerous facilities
