This three-bedroom semi-detached house in central Penzance sits on a generous plot with driveway and a single garage — ideal for a family needing space and parking. The ground floor offers a light dining room, lounge leading to a sun room overlooking the rear garden, and a large kitchen with plentiful storage. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is freehold with affordable council tax (Band C).
The house has practical benefits: mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing (installed before 2002) and good mobile signal indoors and outdoors. Its location is a strong selling point — within easy walking distance of town, the promenade, Penlee Park, Morrab Gardens, primary and secondary schools, and Penwith College. Regular buses run nearby, and local amenities are within easy reach for everyday family life.
The property will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Although the home has been cared for, it needs renovation throughout to update finishes and services. Walls appear to be original cavity construction with no installed insulation (assumed), and some modern energy-efficiency improvements are likely needed. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may affect home working or streaming without alternative solutions.
Buyers should note wider area factors: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with a higher-than-average crime level. These local conditions affect resale and rental yields and are important to consider when assessing long-term value. Flood risk is low, and the massive plot provides scope for garden landscaping, extension (subject to planning) or other family-focused improvements.
