Treseders Gardens, Truro, TR1

Summary

An incredibly rare opportunity to live within central Truro and the historically important Treseders Estate, famed for its contribution to horticulture and introduction of rare and exotic plant species to the area. This has created what can only be described as a quite magical place to live, Daubuz Lodge is set towards the end of the road and is a truly individual residence which would be a wonderful place for anyone to call home.

The setting is blissful and the quarter acre plot holds so much interest with the wrap around walled gardens landscaped and meticulously maintained with mature borders and vibrant planting. There are multiple seating areas and walkways that allow you to enjoy the outside space throughout the day.

The accommodation measures just under 3,000 sq ft and provides both versatility and an incredible amount of character at every turn. The site history goes back as far as the 1300’s with the original part of the house thought to date back to the early 1800’s. The property was then subject to an extensive renovation and extension by renowned Truro architect Paul Bunyan for Daubuz Lodge to become his home. A more recent renovation has worked with the existing layout and adapted to a modern way of living with high quality and beautiful presentation from top to bottom.

The Outside

The gardens at Daubuz Lodge are a particularly special feature of the property and reflect the area’s rich horticultural heritage. Set within established walled grounds, they provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion whilst creating an attractive and peaceful setting around the home.

Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully planted, the impressive walled gardens retain many characteristics associated with the historic Treseder Nursery, which once occupied the site. Mature trees, established borders and seasonal planting create colour, texture and interest throughout the year, resulting in a garden that feels both settled and timeless.

Areas of tiered lawn are complemented by well-stocked borders and a variety of outdoor seating and entertaining spaces. Decked terraces provide excellent spots for al fresco dining and enjoying the gardens throughout the day, whilst practical additions include a productive vegetable patch and useful log store.

To the front there is a sweeping tarmac driveway providing parking for several vehicles with space to turn and this leads to the single garage. Down a couple of granite steps to the front there is access to an exciting cellar space which has been well equipped as a wine cellar with power and light.

Daubuz Lodge occupies a particularly desirable position on the edge of Truro city centre, tucked away within the historic Treseders Gardens development.
