SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance hall, reception hall, lounge, dining room, contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, utility, study, wc. First Floor: large landing with airing cupboard, master bedroom with en-suite shower room and large dressing room (previously fourth bedroom), 2 further large double bedrooms, contemporary family bathroom.

DESCRIPTION Ditton House, 2 Wood Lane is found in a tucked away location in a highly regarded area of Truro amongst other large detached houses. It is found at the end of a long driveway which only gives access to two other properties and is tarmaced up to the large parking area within its fenced and hedged boundaries. The house was built around 1990 but has recently and very successfully been thoroughly modernised transforming it into a contemporary stylish home. Much of the flooring has been updated with Amtico in an oak effect, the internal doors have been replaced with a modern design in light oak with some of them having glazed panels. Redecoration and stylish fittings have made the property very light helped by large

windows and sliding patio doors off three of the ground floor rooms. The stunning kitchen/breakfast room is now fitted with high gloss cream units under composite worksurfaces with integrated AEG appliances and in addition there is a large lounge, sitting room or dining room, utility, study and ground floor wc. On the first floor there were previously four bedrooms but the smaller of these has been integrated with the master bedroom suite to create an excellent dressing room to complement its large and refitted shower room. The two other large double bedrooms share a sumptuous updated bathroom off the large landing. The gardens are of equal merit to the interior as they wrap around three sides of the house with the large driveway to the front giving access to a huge integral double garage with electrically operated doors. The lawns are edged with a wonderful array of flowering shrubs, hedgerows and specimen trees with ornamental beds beside the drive and also in the corners of the gardens. A flint chipped terrace overlooks one of the lawns whilst a large deck with integrated lighting is positioned to enjoy the afternoon sun on the other side of the house. This is an outstanding and thoroughly improved home offering all anyone could want in a generously proportioned and privately positioned property within walking distance of the city centre.

LOCATION Ditton House is found on the south side of Truro and is within easy walking distance of the centre of the city as well as walks beside the river. All of the facilities of Truro are on the doorstep and this is an ideal family home with no commuting for children’s socialising or schooling. Truro is Cornwall’s administrative, business and shopping capital with many national and local boutique retailers among its attractive cobbled streets. The city has more recently gained a reputation as Cornwall’s best served and most varied evening entertainment centre, with a large variety of differing restaurants and bars, along with a cinema and the successful Hall for Cornwall theatre. Many events take place on the recently rejuvenated Lemon Quay which is overlooked by a flagship Marks & Spencer store. Truro is also ideally situated for sporting activities with several good quality golf clubs nearby, a sports centre with swimming pool, squash club, two tennis clubs, rugby and football clubs. Water sports are also near to hand as Truro is no more than 15 minutes’ drive to either the north coast for surfing or the Carrick Roads, on the south coast, for sailing.
