PROPERTY
Belvedere, on the eastern edge of the Cathedral City of Truro, is a very sought after prestigious development of luxurious homes. Winner of Housing Design Awards 2008, the group of 25 homes have been designed in a series of curved terraces and courtyards to create a scheme with a distinctive sense of place. This highly visible landmark scheme on the edge of Truro uses local materials. Inspired by Georgian and Victorian architecture, these modern homes capture the charm of the beautiful historic streets of Truro. Attention to detail has created a high quality development that meets the exacting standards and expectations of The Duchy of Cornwall.

Designed over three storeys, this impressive and spacious four bedroom residence has the versatile accommodation to be the perfect home for a variety of buyers.

Greeted by classic symmetrical period features including large sash windows and a granite pillared portico, you instantly sense the quality of this exclusive home before opening the door.

Designed by award winning Batterton Tyack Associates, this property benefits from its commanding elevated central position in the development enjoying extensive views of the city and cathedral in the distance. This is the only property in the Belvedere development that benefits from both rear and front garden. The large courtyard to the front is privately owned by this property and is complete with outdoor lighting. The luxury of the additional spacious area, of westerly orientation, is an afternoon sun trap and a beautiful place to sit out.

The generously sized central entrance hall, a notable feature of the luxury home builder, provides access to all principal rooms on the ground floor. A study to the right could also be a formal dining room. A cloakroom, handy utility and storage cupboard are also all serviced from the ground floor hall.
A generous dual aspect living room to the rear of the property has Georgian Bar style French doors that provide direct access to the rear patio. This is a well proportioned room complete with central feature fireplace and surround with a gas fire.

There are subtle reminders of the gentle crescent shaped property with charming off square rooms, as the good sized dining space to the front opens out into the wider kitchen to the rear. The open plan kitchen dining room benefits from morning and afternoon sun flooding through to create a warm and sociable area, ideal for entertaining or family life.

The stylish kitchen has a range of matching base and wall mounted cabinetry with polished granite countertops which contain Neff appliances including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and double ovens. This is a high quality kitchen befitting the property.

Stairs lead up to the first three bedrooms. The bright dual aspect master bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, built in wardrobes and a dressing area with good distant views over the city. The family bathroom serves a second dual aspect double bedroom to the rear and the third double bedroom with built in storage and views of Truro to the front.

The second floor offers fantastic versatile accommodation with a large landing leading to a large storage room, currently used as a craft room but would make a great children s games room or occasional fifth bedroom. Additionally there is a 19 x17 bedroom with dressing area to maximum and spacious en suite bathroom with even more storage. The whole floor could be offered as a wonderful guest suite, or for a family, this is perfect independent teenager s space.
