5 Carlyon Road

A single-storey two-bedroom cottage in Carnon Downs, near Playing Place, sleeping 4. The layout is fully accessible with no internal steps - every room on the ground floor - which makes it one of the more practical options in this part of the Roseland corridor. Rated 10/10 on Sykes from 79 reviews, one of the highest scores for a property at this price point in the Truro area.

Inside, the open fire is the centrepiece of the sitting room. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, with a dishwasher and washing machine included. The large enclosed garden has secure bike storage and a lawned area for dogs to roam.

Carnon Downs sits between Truro and the Roseland peninsula. Trelissick Garden (National Trust) is a short drive, with ferry crossings from the quay to Falmouth running in season. Pendower Beach is 8.9km, and Carne Beach is 9.6km - both on the quiet south coast of the Roseland. Truro city centre, with its three-spired cathedral and covered market, is under 5 miles north.

Best for families or groups who need step-free access throughout, or dog owners who want a garden with space to spare. Less suited to those wanting to walk to the coast - the nearest beaches require a car.
