A compact two-bedroom Georgian terrace tucked in a quiet corner of Penzance, offered chain-free and ready for a new owner. The house has traditional stonework, a white-painted façade and a coastal outlook that includes distant views of St Michael’s Mount — a distinctive local selling point for a starter home or rental.
Accommodation is small (about 500 sq ft) and arranged over two storeys with two bedrooms and one bathroom. Heating is by electric room heaters and the walls are likely uninsulated granite, so expect higher running costs and some thermal upgrades will be beneficial. Double glazing is in place but installed before 2002 and may not meet modern efficiency standards.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, characterful home close to town amenities, transport and good local schools. The plot is very small with a modest garden; it’s not suitable if you need extensive outdoor space. The area is classed as deprived, but crime levels are low and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong — useful for remote working or tenants.
Practical considerations are clear: the house will reward sensible improvements (insulation, heating upgrade, and targeted refurbishment) to reduce bills and add value. If you want an affordable step onto the Penzance property ladder with coastal character and no onward chain, this terraced cottage merits a viewing.
