FOR SALE WITH IMMEDIATE VACANT POSSESSION AND NO ONWARD CHAIN - designed by and built for a well-known local architect, a detached, individual house of attractive mellow Portland stone-like elevations, situated in a small, exclusive residential cul-de-sac on the eastern outskirts of this expanding university town. For sale for the first time since construction c. 2008, the property provides light, well proportioned and extremely versatile 4 bedroom, 3 bath/shower room accommodation, with complementary and adaptable living areas, all of which overlook and open onto surrounding gardens. A large brick pavia driveway provides ample parking for numerous vehicles, in addition to which there is an integral garage with large mezzanine level over which clearly provides potential for conversion into further accommodation, if required, subject to all necessary consents.

The Location - Bella Vista Gardens is a small, select cul-de-sac, of detached, individually designed houses, on the eastern outskirts of Penryn, off Truro Hill which, as the name implies, is the ancient route to Truro, passing nearby Enys House and Gardens. Junior and secondary schooling, as well as the extensive and growing university campus at Tremough are just a few minutes’ drive away, and easily walkable for those so inclined, with Truro Hill not only leading through attractive lightly wooded countryside to Carclew and Perranarworthal, but also to the nearby village of Mylor Bridge and Mylor Harbour - the county's pre-eminent boating location.

In all, an excellent location for this detached, individual house which is being sold with the undoubted benefit of immediate vacant possession and no onward chain.
