GENERAL COMMENTS
Riverside Cottage is a detached period cottage which is situated alongside the Truro River within Newham enjoying lovely views over the water to Boscawen Park. The property sits in a large and mature plot of approximately a third of an acre with a pretty and rustic detached stone outbuilding as well as parking for several cars and a detached single garage. The cottage is slightly elevated and nestled into the woodland and therefore surprisingly private from both neighbours and the road. The property is offered for sale to the open market for the first time in 25 years so an opportunity not to be missed.
THE PROPERTY
It is believed that the cottage was originally two properties and hence the layout has been altered over the years which has created a classic quirky cottage with an interesting layout with many of the rooms enjoying views over the river. The accommodation offers three double bedrooms, the master with an en-suite and a Jack and Jill family bathroom to the first floor. To the ground floor there is an entrance porch and a spacious entrance hall as well as a lounge, conservatory, kitchen/dining room and utility with a w.c. The property benefits from having air source heating, the ground floor with underfloor heating
LOCATION
Newham & Port of Truro lies at the head of the Fal Estuary and positioned just a mile to the south of Truro city centre. The superb views over the river are a real feature and one may occasionally see small boats or passenger ferries making their way to Truro on a high tide. Newham Trail is the disused railway line that runs across the Calenick valley on the edge of Truro. This popular trail is well used by runners, dog-walkers, walkers and cycling commuters who work at Treliske Hospital. Accessible year-round, this is a peaceful spot with sweeping valley views, overhanging trees and which finishes up with magnificent views of Truro River. There are also a wide range of businesses within Newham.
