When any one of the very limited number of properties along St John s Terrace are offered for sale, they always attract immediate interest from buyers based both within the locality and those who are based outside Cornwall. The availability of No. 21 St John s Terrace represents an infrequent and special opportunity to acquire arguably one of the most attractive double fronted Grade II Listed properties within the village, and in this exceptionally desirable location given the extreme scarcity of other properties available for sale in this setting, we unhesitatingly and wholeheartedly recommend an immediate inspection without delay. DESCRIPTION We understand 21 St John s Terrace is one of the oldest properties along the terrace constructed circa 1830 and is particularly
3 handsome with double fronted exposed stone elevations with cut granite quoins and three quarter length small paned sash windows under painted brick lintels with an elegant central porch.

Reception rooms include a front to back dual aspect sitting room with study area to rear, a separate formal dining room and to the rear a kitchen plus bathroom and additional side hall. 3 comfortable double bedrooms on the first floor plus good sized family bathroom. 2 bedrooms on the front enjoy fantastic far reaching views over the head of Restronguet Creek to the unspoilt wooded countryside beyond. The property has been well cared for and is in generally good order having been refurbished including re-roofing in the current owner s ownership but also offers great scope for cosmetic improvement. Fantastic gently sloping walled gardens to the rear, some 115ft. in length, a well tended peaceful oasis in the heart of the village with a paved terrace to the rear, fantastic for barbecues and alfresco dining etc. There are mature trees and shrubs including a productive fig tree. Detached double garage with power and light connected accessed from Belmont Terrace. Sold with immediate vacant possession, no onward chain.
4 LOCATION St Johns Terrace in Devoran has long been regarded as an immensely sought after address and is situated in an ideal location within this extremely popular village, close to both the cathedral city of Truro and the famous port of Falmouth. Devoran itself has a fine church, the nearby and high regarded Old Quay Inn and a recently built primary school which is rated one of the best in the area. The area is particularly popular for those with sailing interests, with Devoran Creek giving access to Restronguet Creek, on the western side of the Fal Estuary, which offers supreme day sailing waters and deep water moorings (subject to application to the Harbour Master). The nearby village of Carnon Downs offers a further, more comprehensive range of shopping facilities. The cathedral city of Truro is about 4 miles distant and is the county s main administrative, commercial and shopping centre, with a mainline rail link to London Paddington (travel time approximately 4½ hours). Truro has a fine selection of independent and state schools, a multi screen cinema, the Hall for Cornwall theatre and many clubs, societies and sporting facilities. Falmouth, about 7 miles distant has a further large range of shopping facilities as well as restaurants and cafés overlooking both its deep water harbour and Falmouth Bay, where there are scenic cliff top walks and sandy beaches.
