Property Descritpion

Smart Millerson Estate Agents are proud to present this truly impressive and deceptively spacious two-bedroom apartment, occupying a commanding and enviable position on the outskirts of Truro. Set within an elegant and beautifully converted 19th-century mill, the property perfectly blends period charm with modern living, offering a striking aesthetic and a unique sense of character rarely found in contemporary apartments.

Despite its peaceful riverside setting, the apartment remains within comfortable walking distance of a wide range of local amenities, while being tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this exceptional home presents a superb opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors alike. Further enhancing its appeal is the 999-year lease (granted in 2000), together with a share of the freehold, providing long-term security and peace of mind.

The accommodation is well laid out and thoughtfully designed, briefly comprising a bright and welcoming entrance hallway with doors leading to all principal rooms. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, flooded with natural light and boasting stunning elevated views over the river flowing below.

There are two generously proportioned bedrooms, both offering comfortable and versatile accommodation, along with a modern and well-appointed bathroom finished to a high standard.

Externally, the property further benefits from an allocated parking space, additional visitor parking, secure gated access, and the convenience of an internal lift servicing all floors, making this apartment suitable for a wide range of buyers.

The property is connected to mains water, electricity, gas, and drainage, and falls within Council Tax Band D.

Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate all this home has to offer.

Location

Truro, the only city in Cornwall, is a compact yet well-equipped centre that blends historic character with modern convenience. Situated at the confluence of three rivers, it has long been the county’s commercial and administrative hub, a role reflected in its broad streets, Georgian architecture, and civic buildings. The city is crowned by the impressive neo-Gothic Truro Cathedral, which overlooks a thriving retail core featuring a mix of national brands, independent boutiques, cafés, and restaurants. Truro offers a wide range of amenities, including supermarkets, leisure facilities, a cinema, and a strong selection of primary and secondary schools, as well as Truro and Penwith College. Excellent healthcare provision is provided by nearby Royal Cornwall Hospital, and the city benefits from good transport links, with a mainline railway station, regular bus services, and easy access to the A30. Alongside these practical advantages, Truro maintains a lively cultural scene with theatres, galleries, markets, and festivals, while also serving as a convenient base from which to explore Cornwall’s beaches, countryside, and coastal towns.
