5 bed town house for sale

Trewinnard Court, Kenwyn Church Road, Truro TR1

The Property

Trewinnard Court is an incredibly special little development in absolutely stunning surroundings. Originally built in 1911 as Truro Cathedral School, the building was completely renovated in the late 1990’s and converted into separate dwellings with each having its own individual personality. Number 5 forms the end section of the main part of the building and provides a four-storey town house style property with substantial and interesting accommodation measuring over 2,700 sq ft.

On the ground floor a large entrance hallway provides ample coat and shoe storage with a separate boot room and WC. The kitchen is a great space with windows to front and rear as well as a useful glazed door providing access to the parking area. The kitchen is fully fitted with base and eye level units as well as integrated appliances with space for a large dining table in the middle. To the other end of the ground floor is the first reception room measuring 22ft x 19ft – a splendid living area with large multi-pane windows overlooking the garden to the rear as well as a port hole style window to front a lovely feature. This room also benefits from solid wood flooring and a feature fireplace set into an arched recess housing a coal-effect gas fire with decorative inset, hearth and surround. Stairs from the entrance hallway provide access down to the basement level which provides a second reception room acting as a cosy sung or playroom or additional bedroom. Additionally on this level there is a large utility room with fitted units, basin and space/plumbing for washing appliances.

The sweeping original staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor where a generous landing provides access to three bedrooms (two doubles and a single) as well as the family bathroom fitted with a four piece suite. The main bedroom has a large window to rear aspect with a lovely outlook as well as fitted wardrobes, a dressing room and a generous en-suite shower room. A second staircase rises to the converted attic space which provides two further double bedrooms which share a ‘Jack and Gill’ WC. The bedroom at the rear gets the best of the views with a far-reaching outlook over leafy Kenwyn and Truro with the viaduct in the distance.

Outside this fantastic home doesn’t disappoint either. There is a completely private garden which is a great size given the location and price point. An initial level area of lawn is enclosed by hedging and well established trees as well as a sunny patio area providing the perfect place for al-fresco dining. A shallow set of steps at the end of the garden lowers to a large patio space which is a real sun-trap providing a further seating area enclosed by fencing and an exposed stone wall as well as housing a timber shed. The property further benefits from allocated parking for two vehicles next to the house as well as a great sized single garage measuring 21ft x 11ft with high ceiling storage, power and light.

This is a real rarity in the modern market to own a slice of such an importantly historic building in a location as special as this one. We absolutely recommend a viewing without hesitation.

The Location

Kenwyn is one of Truro’s most sought-after locations thanks to its leafy green and peaceful surroundings whilst being ultra convenient for the city centre. This is blissful living with bird song in gorgeous surroundings whilst being a 10 minute walk to the city centre. Located on the North/West side of the city this position is particularly convenient for Richard Lander Secondary School, St Mary’s, Archbishop Benson and Bosvigo primary schools, Sainsburys supermarket and a local spar convenience store. You are very quickly out into the countryside here; there are lovely walks nearby heading West into Coosebean through unspoilt countryside and the nearby Idless Woods provides fantastic streamside walking. Driving out of town North/West you’ll be on the A30 in less than 10 minutes and there are excellent transport links with buses heading in all directions nearby. To the North can be enjoying some of the most dramatic and stunning coastline that Cornwall has to offer within 20 minutes such as St Agnes, Perranporth and Holywell to name a few.

Truro is the capital of Cornwall and as such boasts much in the way of vibrancy and a real 'buzz' all year round. There is a vast array of excellent restaurants, bars, pubs and cafes as well as varied shopping facilities from main high street retailers to independent shops and local markets. Well renowned schools are in abundance and there is a main line railway link to London (Paddington) within 5 hours.
