The Location

This fine example of a classic Georgian townhouse is located within one of the most desirable and highly-regarded areas of Truro. Falmouth Road is defined by its beautiful Victorian and Georgian architecture with the Lander Monument marking the beginning of Lemon Street with its celebrated Bath stone facades and restored terraces. (Richard Lemon Lander (1804-1834) was a Truro-born explorer of West Africa who was the first European to discover that the River Niger drained into the Atlantic).

Truro boasts a wide and varied mix of national and boutique retailers found within the pretty cobbled streets radiating out from the iconic Gothic Revival cathedral (1880 – 1910). An eclectic mix of restaurants, coffee shops and bars along with a cinema and art galleries, are complemented by the national-class Hall for Cornwall, which has recently benefitted from a major refurbishment.

Sports enthusiasts are particularly well-catered for with a sports centre with swimming pool, two tennis clubs, squash club, rugby, football and cricket clubs within the city. Watersports are readily accessible with the north coast surfing beaches and highly regarded sailing waters of the Carrick Roads on the south coast, both within a short drive. 

With countryside walks, golf, creeks, rivers, surfing and sailing all within striking distance of Truro, this really is the perfect place from which to enjoy a healthy, active and happy life.
