Tregavethan, Truro, Cornwall, TR4

Magnificent residence with stunning landscaped grounds

Description

Lower Croft West is a striking residence with considerable charisma and charm, set within a beautiful and very private countryside setting. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, paddocks and woodland, the property offers a peaceful rural lifestyle while enjoying excellent accessibility, with Truro and the A30 both within easy reach, making it ideal for those seeking seclusion without isolation.

The house has been cleverly created from an original barn, complemented by contemporary additions that blend seamlessly with the original structure. Access is via a recent kitchen extension, which is light, spacious and of high quality, forming a welcoming heart to the home.

Opening to full height, the impressive living-room delivers a real sense of drama and space, creating an immediate wow factor. A series of French doors open onto a sweeping deck that runs along the front of the house, providing an excellent vantage point from which to admire the landscaped garden and the lake beyond. The sitting room features tall windows that give the impression of a wall of glass, framing lovely views across the paddock. This spacious area also benefits from a mezzanine, perfect for use as an office / children's play area.

The principal bedroom accommodation is located on the ground floor, with all rooms enjoying direct access to the garden. One bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room but could easily be reinstated if required. Stairs rise to a mezzanine floor set to the rear of the main reception room, offering a commanding view over the space below and access, via a wooden balcony, to the guest suite positioned above the kitchen.

Gardens & Grounds - The gardens and grounds offer exceptional privacy, natural beauty and future potential. Approached via a private driveway, the property is surrounded by its own fields, pond and areas of woodland, creating a peaceful and secluded rural setting. There are four outbuildings arranged along the driveway, including former stables, a games room, a gym, a large traditional barn and a modern aluminium barn, ideal for secure car storage. These buildings provide excellent flexibility and offer potential for annexe accommodation, home office or studio space, subject to the necessary consents, with further scope for development and enhancement. The immediate gardens are attractively landscaped and blend seamlessly into the surrounding paddocks and countryside, with pathways leading to the pond and woodland beyond, creating a tranquil environment with a strong sense of space and privacy.
