This well presented and charming character Grade II listed cottage is located along one of Penryn's prettiest little opeways, just a stones throw from the centre of the town, yet in a traffic-free location.
The property has a 15' kitchen/diner with beamed ceilings and a 15' lounge with an ornamental feature fireplace, there are two bedrooms and a recently modernised shower room on the first floor.
To the front of the property there is space for an outside table and chairs to sit and relax in the peace and quiet and at the end of the opeway, there is a communal garden.
The location of this cottage is perhaps one of its best features, tucked away from passing traffic down a very pretty pedestrian opeway, yet a hundred yards or so from the centre of town!
The cottage is in a terrace of similar, very pretty cottages with the opeway serving ten or so properties in total.
Penryn is an historic market town located at the head of the Penryn River with a varied selection of niche retail shops as well as a convenience store, Post Office, cafes and public houses. The train station provides a regular service to the cathedral city of Truro where there is a main line rail link to London Paddington.
The expanding Tremough University is situated on the edge of town, whilst Penryn College is easily accessible via the numerous bus routes serving the town.
The harbour town of Falmouth is about two miles distant with a wider range of specialist shops and high street stores as well as high quality restaurants and bars. There are a number of beaches whilst the sailing waters of the Carrick Roads are regarded as amongst the best in the country. Additional visitor attractions such as the National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle provide an alternative source of enjoyment and there are a number of golf courses located close by.
