General Comments - Rosedene is a spacious detached 1930's bungalow with very large garden in a sought after location within Truro. The garden extends to approximately a third of an acre and has planning permission for three houses (two semi detached and one detached). A materialistic start has been made to the development so the planning permission will never expire. The bungalow is in need of modernisation and prospective purchasers are likely to redecorate, replace the kitchen and possibly the front windows. However it offers huge potential, all the rooms are light and spacious with high ceilings and there are lots of wonderful original features. The accommodation includes four bedrooms, sitting room, large kitchen/dining room, two bathrooms and additional shower room. There is potential to create a self contained annexe if required. Outside is a private mature front garden, lots of parking, detached garage, block built workshop/outbuilding and huge rear garden which is ideal for a family. 

Whilst the planning permission is in place for two semi-detached, three bedroom houses and one detached four bedroom house, the existing bungalow will have to be demolished. It is possible to re-apply for planning permission to retain the existing bungalow and look to build in the garden with a different access (subject to consent). Alternatively renovate the bungalow and make a wonderful family home.

Location - Rosedene is perfectly located for swift access into Truro and is within walking distance of Archbishop Benson primary school and Penair secondary school. Waitrose, The Great Cornish Food Hall and the Eastern Park and Ride are also close by with very regular service into the city centre and Treliske Hospital. The city of Truro is the main commercial and administrative centre of the county and here there is an excellent range of shopping facilities with many of the national multiples including a flagship Marks and Spencer store, historic Cathedral and several private and state schools. The Hall For Cornwall offers a varied programme of entertainment and there are eighteen hole golf courses at Truro, Falmouth and St. Austell. The nearby creeks of St. Clements and Malpas offer numerous delightful walks and sailing opportunities are available at Mylor and Falmouth.
