5 bed detached house to rent

Scotland Road, Zelah, Truro TR4

Some homes give you more space. Meadow House gives you an entirely different way of living.

Set on the outskirts of Zelah and surrounded by open countryside and farmland, this substantial detached home offers that increasingly difficult combination of space, privacy and a semi-rural setting, without leaving everyday life behind.

Truro is within easy reach. The A30 is conveniently accessible. Cornwall's north coast isn't far away.

Yet come home, and the pace changes completely.

Built in 2016 and subsequently extended, Meadow House offers over 3,100 sq ft of accommodation, creating a home with enough room for a busy household to spread out without ever feeling disconnected.

And that's perhaps its greatest strength.

This isn't a house where every square foot has been squeezed into another bedroom.

Instead, there's room to live properly.

The principal living spaces are generous, light and comfortable, with enough separation for different parts of family life to happen at the same time.

There are places to come together.

Places to work.

Places for children to disappear to.

And places to simply close the door at the end of the day.

At the heart of the house is a generous kitchen and everyday living space, designed around the realities of family life rather than simply looking impressive.

There's plenty of workspace and storage, while a separate utility keeps washing, muddy shoes and the less glamorous parts of everyday life away from the main living areas.

Additional reception space gives the house another layer of flexibility, particularly for anyone working regularly from home or simply wanting different areas for different parts of the day.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests, with the principal bedroom enjoying its own en-suite and an attractive outlook across the surrounding countryside.

Back downstairs, an additional room creates even more choice.

It could become a fifth bedroom.

A dedicated home office.

A playroom.

A separate snug.

Or simply somewhere that changes purpose as family life evolves.

With four bathrooms across the property, Meadow House is also exceptionally well equipped for a larger household, helping busy mornings and visiting guests feel considerably easier.

Behind the scenes, the house has been designed with modern living in mind too.

An air source heat pump works alongside underfloor heating across the ground floor, creating consistent warmth without conventional radiators dominating the principal rooms.

Owned solar panels provide another useful addition to the property's energy setup, while the modern construction helps create a home designed with comfort and efficiency in mind.

Then there's the outside space.

Step outside and the setting becomes a significant part of the appeal.

Open countryside surrounds the property, giving the garden a sense of space and separation that's increasingly difficult to find.

There's room to sit outside, entertain, let children enjoy the garden or simply appreciate having fields and countryside forming part of the outlook.

And enjoying a garden of this scale doesn't mean sacrificing every weekend to maintaining it.

Regular visits from a gardener to maintain the lawn and hedging are included within the tenancy, allowing you to enjoy the surroundings without adding another substantial job to the weekly routine.

The location completes the picture.

Zelah offers a genuine semi-rural lifestyle while remaining extremely well positioned for Truro and the A30, making Meadow House particularly appealing to anyone wanting countryside around them without creating a difficult daily commute.

Head towards the coast and some of north Cornwall's best-known beaches and coastal villages are within easy reach too, allowing evenings at the beach and weekends on the coast to become part of normal life rather than an occasional trip.

But ultimately, Meadow House is about something fairly simple.

Space.

Space for a family to grow.

Space to work from home without working from the kitchen table.

Space for guests.

Space outside.

And enough separation that even with a busy household, everybody can find somewhere of their own.

All surrounded by Cornish countryside, while keeping Truro, the A30 and the north coast comfortably within reach.

For anyone who has reached the point where an ordinary family home simply doesn't feel big enough anymore, Meadow House offers considerably more room to breathe.

The property is offered to let on an unfurnished basis.

Agent's Note: The detached annexe and double garage are retained separately by the landlord and do not form part of the tenancy
