Hendra, Stithians, Truro, Cornwall

IN THE OWNER'S WORDS
"We were so lucky to find this rare gem in Cornwall. A new build with a sense of character, we particularly love the unexpected double height entrance and the sense of light and space in each of the generous bedrooms, plus the extensive, uninterrupted rural views from all the windows and the garden.

It’s been an unmatched family base, with a short stroll taking you to the vibrant community of Stithians with its school, shop and pub, as well as Stithians lake where there is a popular cafe and another great pub. There are wonderful rural walks straight from the house (perfect for dogs and kids!), and it’s been brilliantly accessible for Falmouth, Truro, Redruth, Helston and both the north and south coasts - all within 20-30 minutes. Location, location, location indeed, but the most wonderful home to boot.

First Floor & Luxurious Suites
The principal Bedroom Suite spans the full depth of the property. This expansive master suite boasts soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams and skylights.
The bedroom has a spa-like En-Suite complete with a walk-in rainfall double shower, modern double floating vanity with dual vessel sinks, back-lit LED mirror, full floor-to-ceiling tiling, and a heated towel rail.

The three additional bedrooms are all generously sized rooms featuring characterful exposed timber beams and Velux windows framing scenic rural views. All three are double rooms and larger than you might expect.

The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a deep soaking tub, overhead shower with glass screen, integrated wall storage nook, and striking teal accent tiling.

Outdoor Living & Garden
The rear garden is a private haven. Step out from the dining area onto a large resin patio area—ideal for al-fresco dining and entertaining. The sunlit Lawn is gently raised with a low retaining wall and a few steps up to a level lawn enclosed by a classic painted boundary wall low enough to take in uninterrupted countryside views (and even the occasional friendly neighbouring horse!).
The home offers off-road parking for three cars and direct access to the integral garage.

SURROUNDING AREA
The property is located on the outskirts of the village of Stithians in mid, south-west Cornwall. This thriving village has a wonderful community feel and boasts a surgery, primary school, pub (Seven Stars Inn), cricket, football and rugby team, church, skate park, Post Office and two convenience stores for every day needs plus easy access to good bus routes.

The port and marine centre of Falmouth is 5 miles away, the market town of Helston is 8 miles, and the City of Truro, the main shopping and administrative centre is 7 miles distant. Conveniently positioned between Truro and Falmouth opens up the options for a range of schooling making Stithians an excellent family location. The nearby Stithians Reservoir also offers facilities for fishing and wind surfing.

Nearby Penryn is a charming, ancient town with a great deal of history with a large proportion of its buildings dating from Tudor, Jacobean, and Georgian times. Due to this, it has been designated an important conversation area. The town has a wide range of amenities from public houses, cafés and a number of different independent trades and businesses along its main high street.

Falmouth is the 3rd largest natural harbour in the world and is guarded by the impressive castles of St Mawes and Pendennis. In the summer, the bay and 'Carrick Roads' are a hive of marine activity. This charming university town has full range of amenities and is a vibrant community known for its creative energy, rich maritime history, and stunning natural landscapes. Falmouth is a hub of activity, offering something for everyone. Whether you’re drawn to its many art galleries showcasing contemporary works, independent film venues, or live music, there’s always something happening. The town also boasts a fascinating maritime heritage, and its year-round calendar of festivals and events ensures that there’s always something new to explore.

The areas of outstanding natural beauty along the Helford and Fal Rivers provide the perfect backdrop for family days out, scenic walks, water sports, and boat trips.

A short drive leads to the North Helford area where you will find National Trust Gardens, Trebah and Glendurgan and the impressive sailing waters of The Helford Passage.

The city of Truro is approximately 10 miles distant and accessible on a Falmouth to Truro branch line.

This home offers the ideal location for anyone looking to enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat with easy access to Falmouth, Penryn & Truro’s vibrant town centres and their stunning natural surroundings.
