General Comments - Kernavean is a spacious detached bungalow that occupies a large mature plot within Salisbury Road. The location is fantastic and whilst very close to the centre of Truro which is within a short walk, it is extremely quiet and there are lovely views of the cathedral from the front. The bungalow was built in the 1930s and still retains many period features including picture rails, former fireplaces, well proportioned rooms and high ceilings. Modern additions include replacement double glazing, gas fired central heating and the kitchen and shower room are in good condition. The current owner purchased Kernavean in 2004 and has made lots of improvements including the addition of the conservatory and front porch in 2005, roof retiled in 2009, bathroom renovated in 2018 and a brand new gas boiler was installed in 2022. A hot tub was also purchased in 2005 and is included in the sale although it has not been used recently.
The accommodation includes three double bedrooms, sitting room, large kitchen/dining room, shower room, conservatory, porch and spacious hallway. There is huge potential to convert the loft into additional accommodation if required as have several neighbours in the road. Attached to the rear of Kernavean is an undercover hobby area, ideal for keen gardeners and perfect as a play area for children and this leads to the former garage that houses the hot tub. At the front is a garden and drive that provides parking for three cars. The larger rear garden is well stocked with many mature shrubs and plants, vegetable garden, shed and garden pond. An internal viewing is essential.

Location - Salisbury Road is essentially a cul-de-sac where it is remarkably quiet being well away from passing traffic but easily within walking distance of the shopping centre. Bosvigo primary school is also close by as is Truro High School for Girls. Truro is renowned for its excellent shopping centre, fine selection of restaurants and bars. The main line railway station is within a fifteen minute walk with links to London (Paddington). The Hall for Cornwall is also a popular venue providing all year round entertainment and other cultural facilities include the Royal Cornwall Museum and the historic Cathedral.
Permit parking is available within Salisbury Road.
