5 bedroom detached house for sale

Summary A truly impressive and beautifully restored Victorian home set within generous grounds on the outskirts of Truro, complete with a detached annexe, double garage and carport. This is a wonderful lifestyle opportunity offering flexible living, whether for family life, multi-generational living or additional income potential – all finished to an exceptional standard. The Property Chybucca House is one of those homes that immediately feels special. My clients have undertaken a meticulous and sympathetic renovation, carefully blending the character and charm of the original Victorian building with high quality contemporary finishes to create a home that feels both timeless and ready for modern living. The ground floor flows beautifully and offers a great balance of cosy and sociable spaces. The full-width living room is a lovely place to unwind, centred around a feature exposed stone wall with inset log burner. There is also a welcoming reception hall which is currently used as a dining space, alongside a practical boot room and downstairs WC. The real heart of the home is the stunning atrium-style family space which stretches over 35 feet and is designed very much for modern living. This space is filled with natural light and brings together a bespoke ‘Melbourne’ kitchen with Silestone worktops, butler sink, Quooker tap, integrated appliances and an electric Aga. There is plenty of room for a large dining table as well as a relaxed seating area, and a built-in family booth creates a sociable and practical touch for everyday life. Upstairs, the split-level landing adds character and interest, leading to three generous double bedrooms, all featuring beautiful stone and granite details. The principal bedroom is a very large double and the second bedroom enjoys its own en-suite, while the family shower room is finished to a high standard with a walk-in double shower and ‘his and hers’ vanity unit. A further staircase rises to the top floor where you’ll find an additional bedroom – ideal as a guest room, teenager’s space or home office. Annexe Accommodation The detached annexe is a fantastic addition and offers excellent flexibility depending on your needs. Whether for extended family, guests or potential income, it has been thoughtfully designed with reversed accommodation to make the most of the surrounding views. Upstairs is a bright and spacious living room with French doors and a Juliette balcony, along with a double bedroom with French doors opening onto a composite decked terrace leading down to the rear garden. On the lower level there is a sleek modern kitchen/breakfast room as well as a well-appointed four-piece bathroom suite. The Garden & Grounds The grounds extend to around 0.8 of an acre and have been beautifully landscaped to create a space that feels both impressive and incredibly usable. To the front, a sweeping driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and leads to both the double garage and carport, while the front lawned garden is bordered by established planting, shrubs and mature trees. The rear of the property has been designed with entertaining and outdoor living in mind. A large porcelain tiled patio leads directly from the house, stepping up to a sandstone terrace with a bespoke timber pergola – a perfect spot for outdoor dining. There is also a brick-built outdoor BBQ kitchen area with gas cooker - making this a brilliant space to host family and friends. At the end of the patio there is a modern outbuilding with a WC which is currently utilized as a bar providing the perfect spot to enjoy the last of the evening sun. This would of course also be a great work from home office which feels separate to the main home. Beyond this, a generous level family friendly lawn leads up to a further tiered section of garden, all enclosed by traditional Cornish hedging which adds to the sense of privacy and character. Final Thoughts Chybucca House is a home that effortlessly brings together character, quality and versatility in a truly special setting. From the thoughtfully designed living spaces to the beautifully landscaped grounds and flexible annexe accommodation, it offers a lifestyle that can adapt to a range of needs. Whether you’re looking for a forever family home or something with multi-generational or income potential, this is a property that needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated.
