Scarcewater is a small rural hamlet nestled in the heart of mid-Cornwall, just west of St Stephen-in-Brannel and within easy reach of both St Austell and Truro, with a very short journey to the A30. It offers a secluded setting with a spacious plot and far-reaching rural views. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, Scarcewater is conveniently located for access to local villages, schools, and transport links — the nearest railway station at St Columb Road is around three and a half miles away, while the cathedral city of Truro, with its wide range of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, is only a short drive away. The area also carries a sense of heritage, with evidence of ancient settlement discovered nearby, adding to its historic charm. The property is also in the catchment area of the outstanding Roseland Academy.
