This week's Packet Pad is this versatile, five-bedroom home in Truro.

'Moonraker' is a fine, detached, individual house, situated at the foot of a short, private road, leading to just three other properties, off popular Hurland Road, an approximate 15-minute walk from Truro city centre.

Situated 'above' Morlaix Avenue and with open, far‐reaching views over neighbouring countryside and towards St Clements and Boscawen Park, 'Moonraker' provides particularly well proportioned accommodation, benefiting from gas fired central heating and double glazing throughout.

The rooms briefly comprise: a galleried reception hall, family sized kitchen/breakfast room with log‐burner, lounge, interconnecting dining room, large main conservatory, and spacious utility room which leads to a large rear porch/second conservatory, cloakroom and to the attached double garage, over which there is a large store.

Falmouth Packet:

A ground floor inner hall leads to three double bedrooms and to a large family bathroom with separate shower cubicle with, upstairs, a palatial master bedroom suite with double aspect bedroom, second bath/shower room, and interconnecting dressing room, also ideal for use as a nursery, study or fifth bedroom etc.

Ample additional parking for several vehicles, including boats and caravans etc, is provided on an extensive forecourt, from which a short pathway and attractively laid gardens lead to a broad front loggia and the entrance to the accommodation.

The surrounding gardens are well enclosed to all sides by Cornish stone and mature hedging; there are paved terraces with access from both conservatories, with the main garden area to the 'upper' side of the house, where there is a large area of lawn, bordered by flowering shrubs, and like most parts of the garden, enjoying a high degree of sunshine.

WHAT IS THE SURROUNDING AREA LIKE?

Meadow Lane is situated off Hurland Road, along which a pleasant 15/20-minute walk leads along Northfield Drive and Park View to Falmouth Road, Lemon Street and the city centre.

Consequently, Truro's unrivalled range of shops, schools and commercial facilities are all close at hand, together with a multi‐screen cinema, Hall for Cornwall and numerous restaurants.

Truro High School is just a few moments away on Falmouth Road; regular bus services lead to Truro College on the western outskirts of the city, close to which is County Hall and Cornwall's main hospital at Treliske.

WHERE IS IT?

Proceed into Truro from the Falmouth direction, directly over the roundabout at the top of Arch Hill, onto Falmouth Road.

Immediately after Truro High School for Girls, turn first right into Park View. Follow the road around to the right and take the next left into Northfield Drive.

Follow the road around to the left and then turn first right into Hurland Road and after a short distance, the entrance to Meadow Lane will be found on the right‐ hand side. 'Moonraker' is located at the end of this lane.
