Description

THE PROPERTYNumber 19 is lovely, sitting somewhere between a house and a cottage in its stature and proportions, this delightful house successfully strikes a balance between comfort and the retention of rare levels of period characteristics and charm which should not disappoint the discerning purist. There are two good double bedrooms upstairs, the main measuring 13' x 12' with 8' ceiling height and a pretty period open fireplace and dog grate. Some of the painted floorboards in this room are 14" wide and indicate the age of the property. Downstairs is a sweet beamed ceiling sitting room with open fireplace and a shuttered sash window. The kitchen/dining room is likely to become the hub of the house, measuring 18' long with a lovely duck egg blue refurbished gas fired Aga, beams, refitted cream kitchen and ceramic tile floor; there is much room here for cooking, eating and socialising. Outside to the rear is a lovely walled courtyard garden measuring about 24' x 15' with numerous climbing plants. This really is an exceptional example of a Penryn town home and thoroughly deserves an early appointment to view. THE LOCATIONNew Street is one of Penryn town's most sought after places to live with number 19 being an exceptional example of a Grade II listed town house/cottage. The property is conveniently positioned roughly between the riverside and the town and shops, each about 150 yards away. Penryn is an historic and ancient market town with an active community and good everyday facilities including nursery, primary and secondary schools. The town enjoys good communication with Falmouth via its bus service and train station, which links to Truro City and mainline Paddington. Penryn is enjoying something of a renaissance with the sighting of the University of Cornwall at Tremough and also of the regeneration and development of Penryn's inner Harbour and Harbour Village. Falmouth town (approximately 2 miles) provides comprehensive shopping, schooling, business and leisure facilities.
