CHARACTERFUL, SPACIOUS AND VERSATILE, THE OLD GRAIN STORE IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD CONVERSION, COMBINING ORIGINAL CHARACTER, MODERN LIVING AND PRIVATE OUTSIDE SPACE.

Description

The Old Grain Store is a particularly characterful and versatile attached conversion of a former railway grain store, offering an impressive five-bedroom home arranged over three floors and extending to more than 2,400 sq ft. Sympathetically converted to preserve and celebrate its historic origins, the property combines the architectural character of the former building with spacious and adaptable accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.
A wealth of period detailing remains throughout, including exposed stone elevations, timber beams and vaulted ceilings, creating a wonderful sense of character and authenticity. The generous proportions and flexible configuration provide considerable scope for a variety of lifestyles, with three reception areas offering excellent opportunities for formal entertaining, relaxed family living, working from home or accommodating visiting guests.

.

The heart of the property is centred around a well-appointed fitted kitchen, which connects naturally with the principal living spaces and provides a practical setting for everyday life. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged across three floors, with five well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, offering an exceptional degree of flexibility for a growing family, multi-generational living or those seeking additional space for guests and home working.
Particular attention has been given to the relationship between the house and its outside space. The property enjoys enclosed gardens to both the side and rear, arranged over two levels and providing a pleasant combination of paved terrace and low-maintenance artificial lawn. This private outdoor space offers a secluded setting for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the warmer months.
A further unusual feature is the timber-built storage building with balcony above, providing useful ancillary space and adding an additional dimension to the gardens. Off-road parking is provided to the front, with space for up to two vehicles.

.

The property occupies a distinctive position within the former railway setting of Grampound Road, where a number of historic buildings have been sympathetically converted to residential use. The Old Grain Store is therefore particularly appealing to purchasers seeking a home with genuine architectural character, generous proportions and a strong sense of individuality. The village is conveniently positioned for access to both Truro and St Austell, while the wider attractions of the Cornish coast and countryside are readily accessible.

The Location

Grampound Road blends rural living surrounded by beautiful countryside, whilst having great local amenities and being only a 7 mile (15 minute drive) from the city of Truro. There are good transport links with buses heading in and out of the centre of the village on a regular basis. You are well catered for here with a village store, post office, village hall, well renowned cricket club, nursery and a highly regarded primary school with a good choice of secondary and private schooling close by as well.
To the South you can be on the stunning Roseland Heritage Coast in around 10 minutes enjoying St Mawes, Portscatho and Carne Beach to name a few. The property sits within the catchment area for the Roseland school. Driving North you can be on the A30 very easily within around 10 minutes as well.

.

Truro is the capital of Cornwall and as such boasts much in the way of vibrancy and a real 'buzz' all year round. There is a vast array of excellent restaurants, bars, pubs and cafes as well as varied shopping facilities from main high street retailers to independent shops and local markets. Well renowned schools are in abundance and there is a main line railway link to London (Paddington) within 5 hours.
Draws such as the newly renovated Hall for Cornwall, historic Truro Cathedral and Royal Cornwall Museum are on one's doorstep with regular city events taking place throughout the year such as Truro Food Festival, City of Lights and famous Christmas markets.
