About the property
The Old School has been completely renovated. It is situated in the heart of the beautiful village of Devoran, which sits at the natural tidal limit of Restronguet Creek. The beamed, open-plan living area offers stunning views of the creek and village. The south-facing rear garden and patio provide additional outdoor space. Across from the school is the village park, and it’s just a short walk to the village pub.

At the Quay, you’ll find a sheltered haven perfect for all ages – swim, go crabbing, kayak, or paddleboard when the tide is in. Venture out on the scenic walking and cycling trails winding through the nearby Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
There are 3 lovely pubs nearby, a local shop 5 min drive, Truro & Falmouth are 15-minute drive and the school perfectly located to explore beaches on the north & south coasts.
