The house sits near centrally within its grounds including plentiful parking to the front with a large detached studio to one side also having grey render to one side and wood cladding to the front. To the other side at the front is a level lawn whilst to the rear broad wooden steps rise up between stone walls to a further lawned garden which faces south west and is at first floor level with a short decked walkway connecting to a full width covered veranda across the rear with various glazed doors opening onto it. Around much of the garden are established boundaries and a comprehensive planted scheme has been put in place so that wonderful beds and more privacy will be gained in the coming years. The house itself is very highly specified and achieved a rating of 84 on the Energy Performance Certificate with the recommended measures to improve this including solar water heating, photovoltaic electricity producing panels and a wind turbine! Starting from the ground up a highly insulated raft foundation was installed and low carbon, highly insulated Durisol blocks were used in the construction. The sedum roof comes with a 25 year guarantee and inside there are features such as LED lighting throughout, a mains gas fired underfloor heating system with individual digital controllers for each of the rooms and a mechanically ventilated heat recovery system providing prewarmed fresh air from the outside. Luxurious appointments including a bespoke staircase with oak treads and a wide oak handrail, large amounts of well positioned glazing, a kitchen and utility room by Kettle Kitchens of Fowey with light grey painted units under composite worktops with concealed mood lighting and integrated appliances. Both the master bedroom’s en-suite shower room and the family bathroom (with a mixer shower over the bath) and the first floor wc are all fitted with Duravit sanitaryware and well considered light grey tiling matches with the style of the house. The house is approached through a unique glass cube porch and on the ground floor are the three double bedrooms, shower room, bathroom and utility room as well as generous storage off the hall. The majority of the first floor is given over to a 27’2” x 21’5” max kitchen/dining/living room with a raised window seat to the front of the house taking in city and countryside views whilst to the rear are glazed doors opening onto the south west facing veranda and garden.

LOCATION The setting of a house is certainly one of its most important attributes and Tre’n Vownder is found well away from traffic noise but is within very easy walking distance of the Thomas Daniell at the head of Lemon Street and then the centre of Truro beyond. Truro is Cornwall’s administrative, business and shopping capital with many national and local boutique retailers among its attractive cobbled streets. The city has more recently gained a reputation as Cornwall’s best served and most varied evening entertainment centre, with a large variety of differing restaurants and bars, along with a cinema and the successful Hall for Cornwall theatre. Many events take place on the recently rejuvenated Lemon Quay which is overlooked by a flagship Marks & Spencer store. Truro is also ideally situated for sporting activities with several good quality golf clubs nearby, a sports centre with swimming pool, squash club, two tennis clubs, rugby and football clubs.
