A Garden Sanctuary Steeped in Heritage - Externally, Daubuz Lodge is nothing short of a gardener’s paradise—a rare and enchanting haven meticulously curated over time. The lush, walled gardens wrap around the property, providing privacy, beauty, and a deep connection to the land’s remarkable horticultural history. Many of the trees and plants were originally cultivated by the renowned Treseder family, famed Victorian nurserymen whose influence still echoes through these gardens today.

The Treseder Nursery, established in the early 1800s, was one of Truro’s most celebrated horticultural enterprises. Known for introducing rare and exotic species to Cornwall—most notably the Cordyline australis or "Torbay Palm"—the family played a key role in shaping both public and private gardens across the region. Their nursery once occupied the very estate on which this property now stands, and many of their original plantings and landscaping styles are still lovingly preserved here.

There are tiered lawns, vibrant mixed borders, and mature planting schemes designed with easy maintenance in mind and change beautifully with the seasons. There are decked alfresco dining areas perfect for entertaining, a vegetable patch, and practical log storage discreetly tucked away. Every corner of the garden has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, creating a space that feels more like a botanic retreat than a private home—the kind of place you’d expect to visit on a garden tour, not simply live in.

This extraordinary outdoor space offers not just beauty but a piece of Truro’s living history—an opportunity to nurture and enjoy the legacy of one of Cornwall’s most storied horticultural families, right in the heart of the city.

Area - Nestled on the edge of Truro city centre, Daubuz Moors offers the perfect balance of tranquil green space and vibrant urban living, making it an ideal location for families, its the perfect location for walks in the sunshine. This peaceful nature reserve, once a working water meadow, is now a haven for wildlife and a beloved local treasure with meandering paths, wildflower meadows, and the gentle River Allen running through. Children can enjoy spotting birds, butterflies, and seasonal changes in nature just moments from their doorstep. With the city centre only a short stroll away, families have easy access to excellent schools, parks, play areas, cafés, shops, the Hall for Cornwall theatre, and regular trains from Truro Station to Plymouth, Exeter, and London Paddington—ensuring everything you need is right on your doorstep.

For weekends and school holidays, the location is a dream. Families are perfectly positioned to explore both of Cornwall’s spectacular coastlines—the sheltered south coast with sandy beaches and sailing havens like Falmouth, Feock, and Mylor is less than 30 minutes away, while the dramatic north coast—home to surfer-friendly beaches like Perranporth, Porthtowan, and St Agnes—is also within easy reach. Add in Truro’s thriving community feel, superb healthcare, sports clubs, and outdoor lifestyle opportunities, and it’s easy to see why this location is so sought after.
