Situation

Malpas is one of Cornwall's most coveted waterside villages, occupying an idyllic position on the upper reaches of the Fal Estuary where the Rivers Truro and Tresillian converge. Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this picturesque riverside community is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, rich maritime heritage and welcoming village atmosphere. At its heart is the much-loved Heron Inn, while Malpas Marina is just a short stroll away. Scenic riverside footpaths lead to the charming village of St Clement and beyond, with the sheltered estuary providing exceptional opportunities for sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and other water-based pursuits.

Despite its peaceful, semi-rural setting, Malpas is only two miles from the cathedral city of Truro, offering an outstanding selection of independent boutiques, restaurants, cafés, cultural attractions and highly regarded schools. Truro's mainline railway station provides direct services to London Paddington, while Cornwall Airport Newquay offers convenient connections to destinations across the UK and beyond.

The Property

Occupying a wonderful position on the western edge of the village, Southward enjoys fine views across the Truro River to the wooded countryside beyond.

Designed to make the most of its setting, this attractive reverse-level home has the main living accommodation on the first floor, where the views are best enjoyed.

Also on this floor are a contemporary fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (with scope to reinstate a dividing wall and doorway to offer a further small bedroom or office) and a modern shower room.

Outside

To the front of the property, a wide brick-paved driveway provides off-road parking for two to three vehicles. A section of the driveway is subject to a right of way serving the neighbouring property, while still retaining ample parking space.
