SETTING THE SCENE

Malpas Road in Truro is a scenic, riverside thoroughfare stretching from the city centre to the tranquil Malpas village, bordered by the tidal River Truro and lined with a mix of elegant historic terraces and contemporary waterside homes.

Truro boasts a wide and varied mix of national and boutique retailers within the pretty cobbled streets radiating from Truro’s iconic Cathedral. An eclectic mix of restaurants, coffee shops and bars, a cinema, and art galleries are complemented by the Hall for Cornwall theatre - recently been the subject of a multi-million pound refurbishment. Supermarkets include Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco. The city also offers excellent private and state schooling, with a mainline link to London Paddington including overnight ‘sleeper’ service. Sports enthusiasts are particularly well-catered for with two tennis clubs along with squash, rugby, football - and the cricket club which sits right next to Sunny Corner House on Malpas Road.

This is a unique opportunity within walking distance of Boscawen Park, the waterside village of Malpas and all that the capital city of Cornwall has to offer.

THE TOUR

Set proudly at the water’s edge, a pretty detached double-fronted cottage, with uninterrupted views across the water to the countryside on the south side of the river. The accommodation includes three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, with one en suite bedroom on the ground floor. The large dining room enjoys a glazed southerly aspect on the edge of the quay, making the most of this fabulous position.

An inspired addition to the house, the detached part timber-clad boathouse was constructed in 2020, blending traditional form with modern detailing. This building incorporates additional accommodation comprising a large living room (with balcony overlooking the river) and bedroom on the first floor, with bathroom on the ground floor inside the entrance hall. In addition, there is considerable storage space within the boathouse ground floor which could be converted to living space, subject to planning.

STEP OUTSIDE

Set directly beside the River Truro, with a private quay, outhaul mooring, and slipway, the home offers effortless access to the water and is a bird lover’s paradise. It is perfect for launching boats, paddle boards, or simply enjoying the tide’s gentle rhythm from the shore.

The quayside gardens enjoy glorious views up, down and across the river. Whether enjoying morning coffee by the water or setting off for an afternoon sail, this is a place that invites you to slow down and breathe in the Cornish air. A gated driveway gives access from Malpas Road.
