A delightful 1930s bungalow situated in the peaceful village of Playing Place, just 2 miles from the popular town of Truro. Quietly nestling amidst a handful of trees, this tranquil property offers peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, boasting an open fire in the sitting room, an electric fire in the dining room and a charming, well-established garden ideal for alfresco dining. The shops, restaurants, museums and theatres in both Truro and Falmouth are close to hand, whilst exploring the gardens at Trelissick, Trebah, Glendurgan and the misty reaches of the river inlets leading to the sea at Falmouth and Helford will keep the inquisitive visitor occupied for days. Even the King Harry Ferry offering day trips to the beautiful Roseland Peninsula is just a mere 2 miles away. With Pendennis Castle, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, St. Just in Roseland and the north coast of Cornwall also within a short drive, visitors can enjoy this perfectly placed retreat all year round.
Set close to the River Fal and only two miles from the vibrant town of Truro is the quiet village of Playing Place. This aptly named holiday resort is ideally situated for exploring the creeks and hidden reaches which work their way inland from nearby Falmouth. Renowned as a centre for boating and sailing enthusiasts, the village boasts a shop and post office as well as a number of riverside pubs and restaurants in the near vicinity. With its lush wooded valleys and wildlife rich coastline, the area is an ideal spot for walkers and cyclists whilst the nearby towns of Truro and Falmouth are also worth visiting for their wonderful shops and other amenities.
