A great opportunity to own this delightful detached, two bedroom character cottage which comes to the market for the first time in over a decade and set in a small lane just 150 yards off Penryn's ancient town centre with its good range of local amenities and within easy reach of the branch line station which connects to Falmouth to the cathedral city of Truro.
The cottage has been a happy family home for our clients since purchasing the property from us back in 2015 and before that it was a successful investment let with our company.
The property is packed with features including feature fireplaces one with gas stove in the living room, exposed and painted random stone walls, beams, sash windows, latch and brace internal doors and vaulted ceilings to the first floor. The house has gas fired central heating by radiators, new fitted carpets and internal redecoration.
The well proportioned accommodation includes on the ground floor, a large living/dining room, a long, bright kitchen/breakfast room with part pitched roof and overhead Velux, a rear lobby and full ground floor bathroom in white. A staircase from the dining section leads to the first floor landing where you will find two double bedrooms overlooking the front aspect. Outside the cottage, there are delightful enclosed courtyard gardens with covered barbecue and dining area, a single garage and space for two cars if parked sensibly.
This ancient market and harbour town of Penryn is steeped in maritime history and has a good range of everyday facilities including shops, schools, public houses, takeaways, art galleries and a convenience store. The town enjoys good communications links by road to the neighbouring town of Falmouth, the branch line station at the top of the hill which connects Falmouth Docks to the cathedral city of Truro where a mainline station provides access to the very westerly county and all point east.
As our clients sole agents, we thoroughly recommend an immediate viewing to secure this delightful cottage.
