WAGTAIL HOUSE

Welcome to Riverside Calm

Tucked quietly beside the water, Wagtail House is where city living meets riverside tranquillity. Imagine waking up to the gentle shimmer of the river, coffee in hand on your own balcony, as the city stirs just beyond the gates. Here, you’re close enough to Truro’s vibrant heart to feel its pulse yet wrapped in a sense of calm that’s all your own, a rare blend that invites you to slow down, soak up the views, and live a little softer. Whether it’s the sound of birds on the water or the gentle buzz of the city that calls to you, this is a place where every day feels a little bit special.

 

The Space

Contemporary Comfort, Layered Over Three Floors

​

Step inside and you’ll find a home designed for both togetherness and retreat. The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious hallway, plenty of room for coats, boots and bags after Cornish adventures and a cosy snug for curling up with a book or sharing stories after a day exploring. The covered terrace draws you outside, right to the river’s edge, where you can watch the tide drift by or simply pause to breathe in the fresh air.

​

Upstairs, the first floor opens into a stunning 40ft open-plan kitchen and dining space, flooded with light from both sides. It’s the heart of the home, a place to gather, cook, and linger over long breakfasts or late-night chats. Slide open the doors to your river-facing balcony and let the outside in perfect for lazy mornings, evening drinks, or simply watching the changing light on the water.

​

The second and third floors each offer restful bedrooms, some with vaulted ceilings, Juliet balconies, and spa-inspired en suites. Every bedroom is a little haven, whether you’re seeking quiet time to yourself or a restful night’s sleep after a day in the city or on the coast. With four bedrooms in total, there’s space for everyone; family, friends, or a quiet solo escape. Thoughtful touches and a calming palette throughout make it easy to feel instantly at home.

The Location

Truro’s Best, Right on Your Doorstep

​

Poltisco Wharf sits in a coveted, gated development right on the river, moments from Truro’s centre. You’re a stroll away from independent shops, galleries, and the city’s famous cathedral. Wander the riverside paths, find your favourite coffee spot, or hop in the car for a day exploring Cornwall’s coast. The city’s vibrant food scene, theatre, and boutiques are all within easy reach, yet back at home, you’ll feel a world away from the bustle.

​

And for those who like life made easy, you’ll find not one, but two private parking spaces located directly outside your front door, so you can come and go with absolute ease, whether you’re arriving with armfuls of shopping or sandy feet after a Cornish day out.

 

Your own mooring and peaceful communal gardens mean you can come and go with ease or stay put and watch the world float by. Whether you’re looking for a weekend of city buzz, riverside calm, or a bit of both, this is a place to write your own story, one that lingers long after you leave.
