A compact two-bedroom first-floor apartment in the heart of Penzance, arranged around an open-plan lounge/kitchen with a prominent bay window overlooking Market Jew Street. At approximately 47 square metres, the layout offers straightforward living space with good natural light and direct communal access to a rear sun terrace.
Practical running costs are modest: EPC rated C, council tax band A and a long lease (999 years from 2019). Service charge and ground rent are low (£380 pa and £50 pa respectively), which helps keep ongoing costs down for a first-time buyer or investor.
There are trade-offs to consider. The flat is small and city-centre positioned, with no parking and very slow broadband (ADSL copper). The area records higher crime levels, so buyers should factor location-related precautions into their plans. The building is period stone-built and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise comfort or rental income.
Overall this is a sensible, budget-friendly entry to homeownership or buy-to-let in central Penzance — good lease terms and low charges provide security, while the size and urban setting limit suitability for those needing outdoor space or high-speed internet.
