SETTING THE SCENE

Tregavethan lies amidst the countryside and farmland just to the west of Truro, one of the narrowest parts of the county, so well placed for both the north and south coast playgrounds.

The City of Truro with its beautiful cathedral is a short drive and has an excellent range of boutique shops, national retailers, private and state schooling and college, main hospital and mainline rail link to London Paddington, including the overnight ‘Night Riviera’ sleeper service.

Despite its peaceful setting, Alvana Gardens is just 2 miles from the A30 at Chiverton Cross, offering swift access to Exeter and the M5. Newquay Airport lies less than 20 miles away with regular flights to London, the UK, and Europe. Truro Airfield, just minutes from the property, accommodates small private aircraft.

Golfers will appreciate nearby courses at Truro, Perranporth, and Newquay, while lovers of the outdoors will enjoy the proximity to two coastlines—each less than 10 miles away.

THE TOUR

Visiting Alvana Gardens, it is easy to see why the current owners have called it home for so long. Space is now considered a luxury and this much loved home has it in spades, both inside and out.

The star attraction for many will be the large, open-plan 'live-in' kitchen-dining room, which has an electric AGA neatly set under a picture window overlooking the expansive rear gardens, together with bi-fold doors out on to the slate terrace. The German fitted kitchen with huge island includes a Liebherr fridge-freezer and Miele coffee machine. There is a well-planned utility room off the kitchen with Bosch and AEG appliances, while a reception hall leads to the sun room and dual aspect sitting room with wood burner.

The principal bedroom suite is a true sanctuary, with a vaulted ceiling, opulent en-suite bathroom, and a fully glazed wall overlooking the gardens. Upstairs are three further spacious double bedrooms, one of which opens onto a private roof terrace, and a large family bathroom.

Offering complete flexibility, a self-contained annexe adjoins the main house and is perfect for multi-generational living, guests, or luxury holiday letting. The annexe comprises a ground floor kitchen-dining area with fitted kitchen and cleverly designed shower room. A staircase leads up to a huge open-plan sitting-bed room with stripped wood flooring and doors leading out to a glass-framed roof terrace. This optional annexe can be accessed either from the drive, or internally from the study/office adjoining the main sitting room.

In addition to the main house, there are several superb outbuildings, with two of these currently used as music studios and another as a sports/games room.

STEP OUTSIDE

The generous grounds extend to approx. 2.4 acres and are loosely divided by a stream and wonderful row of mature trees, with wild meadow to the south, extending to the secondary driveway, which serves the two detached outbuildings - one being used as a music studio and the other as a games room.

There is also a second smaller detached studio closer to the house, currently used as a music studio, but ideal as a home-office. The large gardens continue to the rear of the house, interspersed with mature trees and shrubs.

AGENTS NOTE

There is planning permission to convert the building above the main house into a one bedroom cottage. The full planning documents can be found on the Cornwall Council website using reference PA25/03600
