General Comments - This modern semi detached house offers a superb opportunity to purchase a house with stunning water views over the picturesque Truro and Tresillian Rivers and wooded countryside beyond within this much sought after riverside village just a couple of miles from Truro city centre. In an elevated south facing position the house enjoys fabulous uninterrupted water views from its gardens, patio and balcony as well as most of the rooms in the property. Herons' Reach offers well proportioned light and spacious accommodation which is beautifully presented throughout. Extended from its original form the accommodation offers a kitchen/breakfast room, separate dining room, utility and store room, sitting room with wood burning stove and doors opening onto the balcony which enjoys the stunning views. There are four bedrooms, two with water views and two overlooking the gardens at the rear as well as a large bathroom with separate shower and an additional w.c. The house is sold with no onward chain. An internal viewing is essential.

Grounds - The gardens are a fantastic feature of this property and have been landscaped creating a splendid manageable garden incorporating an array of mature shrubs, plants and trees with numerous vantage points to enjoy the views at different times of the day. Furthermore the property boasts a single garage with the possibility of additional parking available on the private road.

Location - Herons' Reach is located on a private road at the end of Bar Meadows within Malpas village. The village lies two miles downriver from Truro City and is now a very sought after residential locality, the local public house The Heron Inn at the centre. Malpas is widely known for its safe anchorage and mooring facilities, there are also a number of pleasure boats which regularly disembark passengers at the nearby slipway. The whole area is also designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and the tidal river is notable for its large Heronry and ever increasing population of Egrets as well as Cormorants and Shelduck and the occasional seal. The city of Truro is less than a five minute drive and here there is a wide range of shops, schools, restaurants, banks, building societies and the main line railway link to London (Paddington).

Herons Reach is a superb property with splendid views in an area where properties seldom come onto the open market and therefore an early viewing is essential.
