GENERAL COMMENTS

The position of Cliff Cottage is very special indeed, nestled just above Truro River on the edge of Malpas it enjoys magnificent uninterrupted water views. The cottage is located at the very beginning of Malpas Village within a short walk of the famous Heron Inn and just over a mile from Truro City centre. The property was originally two cottages and is very understated from the front. It enjoys a sunny aspect and complete privacy. The water views are ever changing, ideal for bird lovers with many egrets, oyster catchers, terns and on the opposite side of the river is a heronry. The setting is very peaceful.Cliff Cottage is a solidly built traditional stone cottage that is beautifully presented and so much larger than first apparent. It has been improved greatly by the current owners who have made the very best of the accommodation. It is believed that the cottage, circa 1842 was originally the home of the harbour master when Victoria Quay was a busy port. The accommodation is extremely versatile and includes three (or possibly four) bedrooms, all have en suite facilities. The first floor includes a lounge/dining room, sitting room and two bedrooms (both with en suite shower rooms). On the ground floor is a superb fitted kitchen, further reception room, master bedroom with en suite bathroom, utility and w.c. The gardens are extremely private and enjoy the water views. A driveway provides parking for four cars which is almost unheard of within Malpas village. The holiday cottage is set well away from the main dwelling and enjoys privacy. It is currently rented through an agent - website: www.cornwallhideaways.co.uk/truro-surrounding-villages/malpas-holiday-cottages/the-nook. The accommodation is beautifully presented and includes a double bedroom, fitted kitchen/dining room and sitting room.
