Ideal starter home or rental near seafront and local amenities.
Share of freehold, zero ground rent
Set within a converted Victorian townhouse, this compact first-floor apartment offers an affordable entry into Penzance living. The open-plan living/kitchen and front bay window deliver good natural light and a cosy layout suited to a single occupant or couple. Heating is mains gas with a C-rated EPC, and the property benefits from a share of the freehold, zero ground rent and a low service charge of £360 per year.
The flat is small (approx. 365 sqft) and internal space is limited; rooms suit pared-back furnishing. The current internet is not connected and broadband speeds in the area are recorded as very slow — important for those who work from home. The remaining lease is about 81 years from the 2007 conversion, which is long enough for most buyers but should be noted by purchasers and lenders.
Practical positives include proximity to town amenities, parks and the seafront, communal courtyard and fore garden, and low council tax (Band A). The building retains period stone character externally but the apartment would benefit from cosmetic updating and redecorating to make the most of the light-filled living area and bay window.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-cost opportunity for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking central Penzance location, modest running costs and manageable communal responsibilities. Buyers should factor in space limitations and broadband constraints when viewing.
