property:

The property is beautiful both inside and out, well presented internally with an attractive exposed stone façade. The property and gardens have been much improved by the current owner. It offers an incredible amount of space over three floors with potential to further improve the kitchen/dining area on the ground floor with plans that the vendor has had architecturally designed and with planning approval.

You enter onto the ground floor where you are welcomed into a beautiful and sizeable reception room, which has been reconfigured to have a lounge, office and contemplative reading areas. All the windows and doors look out onto the surrounding gardens, trees and fields beyond.

The kitchen is on the lower ground floor and again enjoys a wonderful outlook and provides access to the lower walled garden, interconnecting the inside and outside perfectly, a great space to entertain during the summer months.

The kitchen/dining room offers a range of fitted units, solid wood surfaces, an Aga as well as a built-in oven and electric hob, and space for both a dishwasher and a washing machine.

The dining area is a considerable size with plenty of space for a large dining table. Just off the kitchen is an additional shower room with planning permission to convert it into a utility shower room with a new window. As stated, plans have also been drawn up to replace the current kitchen with bi-fold doors opening out to the garden to create an indoor/outdoor room – plans on request.

The first floor has three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Velux-style windows take full advantage of the beautiful surroundings of trees, birds and night skies in this peaceful, tranquil setting.

Externally:

This property has the benefit of a long private driveway with parking for several cars, with a covered car port to the end of the drive. This has potential to be converted into a multi-functional space, which could be utilised as a guest suite, gym, studio, or home office - plans on request.

This barn has the largest gardens, which the current vendor has landscaped and developed. The garden is over three tiers, featuring three separate lawned areas and several places to sit back and take advantage of the sun no matter what time of day. The top tier is lawned with a seating area and fire pit which backs onto the open countryside, the perfect place to enjoy the last of the sun.

The middle tier is lawned and adjoins and is overlooked from the living space on the ground floor, with a pathway to the front door and mature hedging, trees and shrubs providing privacy and tranquility, perfect for summer entertaining and barbeques.

Steps down lead you to the lower tier, again laid to lawn with a paved seating area and raised planted beds and mature borders. This space interconnects with the kitchen/dining space perfectly and is great for entertaining in those summers’ months.

Location:

Upper Barn is situated on the edge of a hamlet of similar barn conversions enjoying a rural setting just over a mile from Truro City centre and yet so close to the Creekside at St Clement and Malpas villages. ‘Sunny Corner’, a popular riverside stop, is at the bottom of the private road from the Malpas road, as is Boscawen Park with its tennis courts, cricket ground, cafes and childrens playground.

The beautiful Creekside village of Malpas, a 15 minute walk through the woods away, is situated on the banks of the Truro and Tresillian Rivers, fantastic for sailing, boating, canoeing, paddle boarding and kayaking enthusiasts. The Enterprise pedestrian ferries have regular services to Trelissick, Falmouth and St Mawes, which provide great days out from Upper Barn.
