General Comments - 14 Carlyon Road is a detached three-bedroom bungalow occupying a mature and established garden plot of approximately half an acre on the edge of Playing Place, a desirable village setting within easy reach of Truro, Carnon Downs, Feock and the Carrick Roads.

The property has been a much-loved home for many years and is now offered for sale with vacant possession and no onward chain.

The accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge, conservatory, kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms, cloakroom, utility, workshop, store and garage. Outside, there is ample parking and mature gardens surrounding the property.

A particular feature of the sale is the availability of adjoining land, which can be purchased separately or together with the bungalow. Further details of the additional lots are set out below.
