This two-bedroom terraced cottage in central Penryn blends period character with practical updates. Offered chain free, the house has original stone facade, sash-style double glazing and a cosy lounge with a feature wood burner — a comfortable base for first-time buyers or downsizers.
The accommodation (approx. 754 sq ft) includes a compact contemporary kitchen with appliances and courtyard access, a separate dining area, two double bedrooms and a modern three-piece bathroom. Gas central heating with boiler and radiators is fitted and broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for working from home or students attending nearby Falmouth University.
Outside space is very small: a private secluded courtyard and gated side entrance provide low-maintenance outdoor use but no garden. The property dates from c.1900-1929 and has granite walls assumed without insulation, so there is scope to improve thermal performance and reduce running costs. There is a medium flood risk in the area; buyers should obtain detailed local flood and insurance information.
Location is a key draw: immediate access to Penryn town centre, local shops, eateries and bus and train links, with Falmouth only two miles away. Council tax is very cheap and the house could suit first-time buyers, those wanting a low-maintenance home, or buy-to-let investors looking for a town-centre rental near the university.
