• Historical history


Both interesting and intriguing is this highly individual home offering well-proportioned accommodation being in a most convenient location within a few minutes' walk of the town's excellent amenities. The property we believe was formerly part of the Bishop of Truro's former residence and music room which was later converted to a separate dwelling we believe during the early 1800s. The property benefits from a high degree of security and a sunny sheltered aspect with stone walling, timber fencing and ornamental block walling which encloses the property. Views of Pendennis Castle can be enjoyed from the rear and a detached garage is located nearby on Wood Lane providing secure private off-road parking. The property is conveniently situated for either a family home or retirement property with little external maintenance. Miller Countrywide strongly recommend an internal viewing to appreciate this property.
