What our client said:

"Ben Davies was a pleasure to work with in selling my house near Truro: attentive, straightforward, engaging, and proactive. At key points during what turned into protracted and convoluted sale, he came up with ideas and strategies that moved everything forward, and he helped keep my morale up throughout. Highly recommended."

The location

Bar Meadows is tucked away at the very end of the hugely desirable and timelessly beautiful riverside village of Malpas within just a couple of miles from the centre of Truro. This small waterside community provides an enviable lifestyle based around the popular pub, modern village hall, marina and popular walks to St Clement in one direction and Boscawen Park (with its tennis courts, coffee shop, childrens’ play area, lakeside café and nearby cricket club) in the other. It is very hard to think of anywhere in Truro that provides such a peaceful and inspiring setting. 

High quality state and public schooling, along with nurseries and primary schools, are all close by and the centre of Truro, with its recently revamped and now-national class Hall for Cornwall, caters for most day-to-day needs. 

Further afield but within a short drive are the exceptional sailing waters of the Fal River, the buzzing university seaside town of Falmouth and the famed surfing beaches on the north coast. And if you need to get to London quickly or fancy a holiday in Portugal, Cornwall’s airport near Newquay is just 20 miles away.
