MIDDLE TERRACED CITY COTTAGE

A delightful period cottage quietly tucked away on the pedestrian-only Parkins Terrace in the heart of Truro, enjoying attractive cathedral views and a surprisingly peaceful setting. The property offers well-proportioned character accommodation including an open-plan sitting/dining room, two double bedrooms and a generous bathroom, complemented by private front and rear gardens. With a secluded courtyard, further enclosed city garden with summer house. Truro’s shops, schools, transport links and cultural attractions are all just a short walk away.

General Comments - This charming period cottage is discreetly positioned on Parkins Terrace, a peaceful and little-known pedestrian-only row tucked away within Truro’s city centre. Enjoying delightful cathedral views to the front, the property offers well-proportioned character accommodation complemented by wonderfully private outdoor spaces to both the front and rear.

Accommodation - The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall leading to an open-plan sitting and dining room, featuring wooden flooring, character fireplaces and windows overlooking both gardens. To the rear, a fully fitted galley kitchen is equipped with a stable door opening onto the courtyard. On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms and a well-sized bathroom, with the principal bedroom spanning the full width of the property and enjoying uninterrupted cathedral views from twin front-facing windows.

Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight. The front garden provides an enclosed and tranquil seating area with planted borders and a striking outlook towards the cathedral. To the rear, a lower courtyard offers storage and utility space, with steps leading to a pathway and onward to a further enclosed garden. This secluded space enjoys excellent sunshine throughout the day and features a summer house, creating a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city.

Location - Parkins Terrace occupies a highly convenient yet surprisingly quiet position on the north-eastern fringe of Truro’s city centre. With pedestrian access only, the terrace enjoys a calm atmosphere while being just moments from the city’s independent shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions. The location is particularly well suited for families, with Archbishop Benson Primary School close by, along with green spaces such as Daubuz Moors and Tremorvah Playing Field. Truro’s mainline railway station, excellent transport links and easy access to the A30 further enhance the appeal.

A delightful city cottage combining character, quiet and convenience in equal measure.
