General Remarks & Location - Situated in one of the more desirable terraces in the City with views towards the river and a level walk into the centre, properties in Trennick Row are a rarity to the market and are incredibly sought after. Of particular historic importance, number two was the Captain's House for the shipping company operating in 1836 when the original property was built. Number 2 is therefore much larger than the surrounding properties, as can be seen from the ridge height, as it spans three floors rather than two.

A much loved family home for the last 44 years, the property has been well cared for but is in need of modernisation in some areas. In all, the accommodation comprises:- entrance porch, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, rear lobby/study and W.C. to the ground floor. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor, with two further bedrooms on the second floor. There is a front garden and rear walled garden with garage at the top, accessed via a private lane. Subject to necessary consents, this could be transformed into a car port with further parking. Please note that white goods, carpets and curtains will be included in the sale.

The property boasts a wealth of character features including Regency bay windows and French doors, stained glass, original cornicing and slate flooring. Original internal doors and a beautiful turning Mahogany stair rail with baluster. A regal feeling runs throughout with high ceilings apparent in every room. 2 Trennick Row is Grade II listed and due to this, original aspects have remained throughout the different ownerships.

Truro & Malpas - Truro is renowned for its excellent shopping centre, fine selection of restaurants, bars, private and state schools and main line railway link to London (Paddington). The Hall for Cornwall is also a popular venue providing all year round entertainment and other cultural facilities include the Royal Cornwall Museum and the historic Cathedral.

Boscawen Park is just a short walk from the property, perfect for families and those looking for large green space on the outskirts of the city. The Truro Towns Fund have granted their first payment to start building the Boscawen Sport and Recreation Hub, which will focus on the health and wellbeing for people of all ages and abilities.

The creekside village of Malpas lies approximately two miles to the south east of the Cathedral city of Truro, which is Cornwalls main administrative centre with an excellent selection of shopping, business and schooling facilities with the main line rail link to London (Paddington). Malpas is in a delightful waterside location with nearby river and creekside walks, boat yard and popular eating house called the Heron Inn. In the summer months there are river trips that can take you out into the Carrick Roads to the port of Falmouth which is the gateway to some of the UK's finest day sailing waters with various sailing clubs in the vicinity and Falmouth being the third largest natural harbour in the world which is also home to the National Maritime museum and the renowned Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.
