Parkins Terrace, Truro

A quite unique and exceptionally spacious 5 bedroom (3 en-suite) end of terrace character townhouse with breathtaking views of Truro Cathedral, sunny garden and off street parking.

Why You'll Like It - This exceptional, double fronted, end-of-terrace townhouse combines architectural grandeur with modern comfort and real flexibility in a peaceful central city location just moments from the shops and cafes. Thoughtfully and comprehensively updated in 2017 - 2018, the house retains a wealth of character while offering generous and practical space for modern family life.
The quality and care in the restoration is clear the moment you step inside. A striking tessellated tiled floor, high ceilings with plaster cornicing and coloured glazing set the tone, creating a home which feels both welcoming and quietly impressive, while the inclusion of ample storage on all floors makes for easy family living.
The ground floor is remarkably versatile. A stylish, contemporary kitchen-diner forms the heart of the home, with grey shaker-style units, integrated Neff appliances, granite and timber worktops. A connected utility room, walk-in pantry and ground-floor WC add practicality. There is also a self-contained area with its own kitchenette and shower room. With its additional entrance, this has potential to be used as an office, a granny flat, a guest suite or a letting unit. Alternatively, the floor can be arranged as three reception rooms and a study - ideal for entertaining or working from home.
A half-landing provides a useful study nook before stairs rise to the first floor and attic. The first floor includes two grand double bedrooms at the front. Both feature modern sliding-sash double glazing and superb views of Truro Cathedral. Each has en-suite facilities: one with its own shower room, the other with Jack-and-Jill access to the family bathroom. The bathroom includes a deep, dual-ended, freestanding bath, separate shower, wall-hung basin and back-to-wall WC. A further dual-aspect double bedroom completes this floor.
The converted light-filled attic continues the sense of space and elevation, again with breath-taking cathedral views. With room for a double bed, study area, lounge corner and its own en-suite bathroom this floor makes an ideal retreat for teenagers, young adults or long-stay guests. No less than eight large, double-doored under-eave cupboards offer exceptional storage capacity.
Outside, the gardens are a delight. A sunny landscaped area includes a generous terrace accessed via French doors, perfect for outdoor dining. Beyond lies a lawn and sheltered entertaining space. In addition to the mini orchard of apple and plum trees the south-facing aspect supports a successful trailing vine, a small fig and a variety of fruit bushes. A storage shed, workshop and garden office provide excellent hobby or home-working options. Two allocated off-street parking spaces, held on a 999-year lease, add further appeal. Additional spaces are available to rent nearby if needed.
Altogether, this is a unique and elegant townhouse. It blends period charm with contemporary living, offers outstanding flexibility, all with uplifting views of Truro’s most iconic landmark.

Where It Is - This location is right in the heart of the city and easily walkable to the fantastic array of shops, restaurants, bars and cafés as well as highly regarded schools, both state and independent. Just five minutes’ walk away to the West lies Daubuz Moor, a green oasis in the middle of the city for ‘off-lead’ dog walks by the river while to the East are walks towards Malpas beside the river.

The neo-gothic Cathedral dominates the view from most windows of the house and holds many events including craft markets, exhibitions and wonderful concerts. The Hall For Cornwall is the county's theatre with amazing shows ranging from an annual panto to big name stand ups, with plays and musicals every bit as good as The West End! Archbishop Benson primary school (Ofsted-rated ‘good') is close by and secondary schools, Truro School, Penair Secondary School and Truro High School can all be easily walked to from here as can the bus station for transport to Truro College and the Royal Cornwall Hospital. Truro mainline railway station, also within walking distance has regular services to London Paddington including the sleeper train and also a handy branch line connecting with Penryn (home of Falmouth University) and Falmouth itself with its beautiful beaches, eclectic high street and passenger ferries to St Mawes and Flushing. We highly recommend a visit to The Old Chapel Cellars nearby where you'll find a wine for every occasion and Petty Fours restaurant which offers a fine dining experience to rival any.
