A classic, restful and opulent one bedroom apartment. Styled eclectically with a nod to William Lemon who brought this fine and celebrated street into being. Sleeps 4 in one double bed, and one double sofa bed.
This grade-II listed haven in the heart of Cornwall’s capital perhaps best reflects the bourgeois origins of No. 79. Classic, restful, luxurious; reminiscent of the times when William Lemon, created a Baronet in 1774, brought this fine and celebrated street into being. Often regarded as one of the finest provincial streets in Britain, it has been the principal residential area of Truro for over a century. Though many of the buildings on Lower Lemon Street have become offices and consulting rooms over the years, The William Lemon Apartment offers you the rare opportunity to reside in one of these stunning spaces, once homes to wealthy merchants, philanthropists, mine owners, surgeons and MPs.
The William Lemon, at the front of the first floor, impresses with a communal space over 30 feet long, and an opulent feel. The kitchen is traditional and well-equipped, with an eclectic mix of antique and more contemporary pieces throughout the dining and living space. A large Georgian window dominates the living area, flooding the sitting area with warm golden light on clear bright days. It offers an outlook onto the beautiful Bath stone townhouses, and a great opportunity for a spot of people watching. The comfortable velvet sofa also doubles as an extra double bed, perfect if you have children or friends wishing to join you.
The shower room is bijou, well-designed and traditional, complete with a marble floor and decorative high-level toilet.
The generous bedroom offers a comfortable silver velvet king size bed and ample storage within the full height triple wardrobe. The large Georgian window overlooking the charming street scene makes this another wonderfully light and welcoming space.
The William Lemon has access via the communal staircase and hallway to the attractive rear courtyard, shared only with one other apartment.
Please note that whilst children are very welcome, you might like to know that as the building is listed the windows are low to the ground. You can see how low from the pictures, but please do call us if you want to talk through any requirements.
