which opens onto a contemporary slate front terrace and to the side of the house is a brick paved drive giving off road parking for at least three cars in front of the detached garage. To the rear is a fenced and gated garden with lawn, various beds, a large raised deck for entertaining and a courtyard to the side of the house where there is a shed. The interior is absolutely stunning and has been carefully updated in recent years so as not to remove the original grandeur and style but instead has enhanced it throughout. A tessellated lobby then flows through a classic mostly glazed internal wall to the main reception hall which runs the full depth of the house and has an elegant turning staircase to the first floor. High ceilings abound, with other details including mouldings, panelled doors with period door furniture and exposed floorboards that have been whitewashed for a more contemporary appearance. To one side of the hall is the lounge with a window seat fitted to the bay and to the other side the dining room has been opened through to the kitchen to create a 29’ long space overall with windows to both the front and rear. The dining room has a modern wood burning stove set into a fire breast and the kitchen has many integrated appliances and granite worktops including on the central island. Also to the rear is a stylish and very useful large laundry room with built-in storage and a separate wc.

The first floor is no less impressive with a galleried landing still opening through painted panelled doors with ornate architraves to the four bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly large, has its own en-suite shower room and has the use of one of the large bays to the front from where there are some views to the countryside around Kenwyn. The same type of outlook is enjoyed from the adjacent good sized single bedroom and a further large double bedroom. The fourth bedroom is also a large double and is found to the rear and there is also a highly specified modern take on a period family bathroom. 8 Carvoza Road is a perfect family home just a short walk from the centre of Truro, on a coveted residential road.

LOCATION The location of 8 Carvoza Road has many, many benefits, with all of the facilities of Truro on the doorstep. This is an ideal family home, with no commuting for children’s socialising or schooling, as the exceptionally well regarded Archbishop Benson and Penair Schools are both within walking distance. 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 entertainments centre, with a large variety of differing restaurants and bars, along with a cinema and successful Hall for Cornwall theatre, with many events taking place on Lemon Quay. Truro is also ideally situated for sporting activities, with many good quality golf clubs nearby, a sports centre, squash club, two tennis clubs, rugby and football clubs. Watersports are also near to hand as Truro is no more than 15 minutes to either the north coast for surfing or the Carrick Roads, on the south coast, for sailing.
