Description:
An extraordinarily rare opportunity to purchase one of 5 substantial detached houses in this highly sought-after cul-de-sac just a few minutes' walk from the city centre. The house is surrounded by cleverly designed and well stocked gardens which, at the rear of the house, are south-facing; it comprises 4 (potentially 5) well proportioned bedrooms, 2/3 reception rooms, 2 bath/shower rooms, utility room, kitchen, double garage and masses of private off-road parking.
THE PROPERTY
1 Moresk Gardens is one of five substantial detached houses in one of Truro's most select and conveniently positioned cul-de-sacs just a few minutes' walk from the city's exceptional shopping, commercial and schooling amenities.
Built in 1999 by highly respected local contractor Ray Bunt, this is the first time the property has become available for sale since its original purchase and indeed it will be the first of these five highly desirable properties to come back onto the market since then.
Benefiting from well stocked, expertly planted and generously proportioned gardens at both front and rear, the property has a sweeping brick pavia driveway providing masses of private off-road parking and an attached double garage with twin electronic doors. The delightfully sunny south-facing rear elevation has pretty, lightly wooded views and glimpses of Truro Cathedral and the outskirts of the city beyond. The garden has won top prizes on three consecutive years in a horticultural competition run by the city of Truro.
Throughout, the accommodation is light and well proportioned with features including: attractive rendered elevations, slate hung and stone clad to the facade, a flared and hipped roof in natural slate with terracotta ridge tiling, sealed unit casement sash-style double glazing throughout. There is comprehensive gas fired central heating, large entrance porch, deep entrance hall with laminate flooring, triple aspect lounge with open fireplace, separate dining room, study (or fifth bedroom), kitchen overlooking the rear gardens, utility room, ground floor cloakroom/WC, galleried first floor landing, 21' double aspect master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three further first floor bedrooms and a large family bathroom with white suite.
1 Moresk Gardens is, in our opinion, the perfect in-town family home in a unique and desirable position. We strongly recommend interested prospective purchasers make an immediate appointment to view.
THE LOCATION
Moresk Gardens is located on the northern side of Truro, close to the River Allen Valley, Daubuz Moors and pretty rural walks on the outskirts of the city to Kenwyn, Idless and St Clement Woods.
A short walk down Moresk Road leads into St Clement Street and various walkways to the city centre with its superb range of shops and commercial facilities, restaurants, leisure amenities and Hall for Cornwall, the county's main theatre venue.
There are excellent junior schools nearby (Archbishop Benson is just up the road) and the city provides the county's finest range of secondary schooling with Truro School, Truro High School and Penair all an approximate fifteen-minute walk away. Cornwall College is located on the south-western outskirts of the city near The Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske, county council offices, retail parks and main-line rail service to London (Paddington) - journey time approximately four and a half hours.
