About 11 Sandy Cove

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

11 Sandy Cove is an end-of-terrace house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8AP). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B.

At 83 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2025.
