Description:
An impressive Grade II Listed former Vicarage, graciously proportioned and situated on one of the most sought after roads in Truro. Extensive accommodation including servants quarters. Mature garden. Parking. Rare chance to create a superb family home.
SITUATION
The ancient port and market town of Truro is situated in a valley at the head of a beautiful river bearing its name and is dominated by the splendid three spired cathedral which stands at its heart. Forming the retail, administrative and cultural centre of Cornwall, the city offers a comprehensive range of retail and leisure amenities together with the county's leading educational facilities.
Standing on Falmouth Road, one of the most distinctive and well known of the city's streets, 32 Falmouth Road enjoys the convenience of a walk into its bustling heart where there is a wide variety of restaurants, bistros and pubs together with a cinema and the Hall for Cornwall where there is a changing programme of live music and theatre.
Public transport links are excellent with a main line rail connection to London Paddington and flights departing to international and domestic destinations from Newquay airport.
DESCRIPTION
Boasting a handsome dressed Killas and granite facade, 32 Falmouth Road is a fine Grade II Listed city residence thought to date from circa 1880. A former Vicarage, the property retains a number of traditional features including the elaborate panelled ceiling in the beautifully proportioned reception hall and the intricate stair windows with coloured glass depicting Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Elsewhere there are molded cornices and panelled doors, so typical of the era.
Extending to around 4300 sq ft in total, the accommodation is arranged over three floors and comprises the grand and beautifully proportioned main rooms with the more modest servants' wing to the rear. Offering a wonderful opportunity to update and modernise, the appearance of 32 Falmouth Road on the open market is sure to generate a high level of interest.
To the front of the property is ample off-road parking whilst to the rear is a mature and surprisingly large rear garden with independent access and a garage off School Lane.
