Cusgarne, Truro, TR4

Description

A particularly appealing detached dormer style bungalow, Saffron Meadow occupies an outstanding elevated position on the edge of the sought after village of Cusgarne, commanding far reaching panoramic views across rolling countryside towards Carn Marth. Enjoying a peaceful and highly private setting, the property is approached via a private lane, immediately setting the tone for the sense of seclusion and rural charm that defines this home. Believed to date from an earlier period and subsequently enhanced, the property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners to create a light filled and versatile home of considerable character. Internally, a number of original features have been retained and complemented, most notably the impressive ceiling heights and large format windows, which combine to create a wonderful sense of space and natural light throughout, whilst perfectly framing the surrounding landscape.

The Property

The accommodation is both generous and adaptable, extending to three/four bedrooms, making it well suited to a variety of lifestyles. A welcoming entrance hall provides an elegant introduction to the home and leads through to the principal reception spaces. The sitting room, which could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, offers flexibility in layout and enjoys a pleasant outlook. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the open plan kitchen/dining room, a superbly proportioned space designed for modern living, offering ample room for both informal dining and entertaining, with a seamless connection to the outside. A well appointed bathroom and separate utility room further enhance the practicality of the ground floor accommodation.

.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is particularly noteworthy, enjoying elevated views across the surrounding countryside and benefiting from its own en suite facilities. The remaining accommodation continues the theme of light, space and versatility, all enhanced by the consistently high ceilings which are a defining feature throughout the property.

The Outside

Externally, the gardens extend to approximately a quarter of an acre and are a true highlight of the property. Gently sloping and predominantly laid to lawn, they are beautifully maintained and bordered by a rich variety of mature shrubs and planting, including established rhododendrons and hydrangeas, which provide seasonal colour and interest. The south-west facing front garden, in particular, takes full advantage of the elevated position, offering uninterrupted views across open farmland. To the rear, a thoughtfully designed decked terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, enjoying both privacy and a pleasant outlook. A further area of lawn extends beyond, together with a substantial timber outbuilding, ideal for use as a potting shed, workshop or additional storage.

.

The boundaries are defined by traditional stone walling interspersed with mature trees, adding to the sense of enclosure and character. A gravelled parking area provides ample space for multiple vehicles, with additional capacity for the storage of a boat or caravan if required. The property also benefits from a useful cellar, offering further storage potential.
