The Location

Bella Vista Gardens is a small, select cul-de-sac, of detached, individually designed houses, on the eastern outskirts of Penryn, off Truro Hill which, as the name implies, is the ancient route to Truro, passing nearby Enys House and Gardens. Junior and secondary schooling, as well as the extensive and growing university campus at Tremough are just a few minutes’ drive away, and easily walkable for those so inclined, with Truro Hill not only leading through attractive lightly wooded countryside to Carclew and Perranarworthal, but also to the nearby village of Mylor Bridge and Mylor Harbour - the county's pre-eminent boating location.

In all, an excellent location for this detached, individual house which is being sold with the undoubted benefit of immediate vacant possession and no onward chain.
