SITUATION Approximately one and a half miles from Truro, Stable Cottage is situated in a delightful countryside setting yet within easy reach of the city centre and the picturesque creekside village of Malpas.
Truro is the administrative, commercial and cultural centre of Cornwall. It has an excellent range of shops and supermarkets, superb leisure facilities and a major hospital together with first class private and state schools. There is a main line railway station connecting with London Paddington and regular flights depart from Newquay Airport to domestic and international destinations.
Nearby Malpas occupies an idyllic waterside setting where the Truro River meets the Tresillian River. The village is renowned for its thriving community and is home to the renowned Heron Inn. There are moorings on the river and in the summer months boats run up and down the river to St Mawes, Falmouth and Trelissick Gardens. The surrounding countryside is lush and unspoilt with much being designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are walks along footpaths in the immediate vicinity allowing access to the picturesque village of St Clement.
DESCRIPTION A handsome and beautifully presented attached three bedroom barn conversion, Stable Cottage forms part of a small cluster of character properties in this lovely rural setting. Boasting an attractive exposed stone facade, the property is approached over a shared access lane leading directly from Sunny Corner on the Truro River.
A welcoming and spacious entrance hall provides access to a utility room/downstairs WC, equipped with plumbing for a washing machine.
