The property
A cursory viewing of Dowager Cottage from Durgan Lane will likely deceive and certainly not indicate what is on offer. This detached house was once part of the impressive neighbouring 'Saffron Meadow' and converted into a comfortable dwelling in the 1980's. Accommodation is remarkably bright and flexible, accessed from the garage and parking area into the first floor landing/living space with two small bedrooms and bathroom off. From the galleried landing, where natural light floods from up and downstairs, a spiral timber staircase descends to the 'living' accommodation with practical ceramic tile floor. Here there are two decent reception rooms each facing south and accessing the terrace and garden. The fitted kitchen/breakfast room has built in seating; windows and doors are uPVC double glazed and a gas boiler fuels radiator central heating and hot water supply. The rear garden is south facing, established with mature shrubs and extensive areas of paved terracing. To the front there is plenty of parking space and a single garage with cellar area beneath. It is so rare to find an individual and characterful detached home in this price range and we wholeheartedly recommend an early appointment to view.
The location
Durgan Lane is a little known address, tucked away off Truro Hill and Commercial Road, on the favoured 'Mylor' side of Penryn. Neighbouring properties are well spaced and with mature gardens. The position is incredibly convenient, just two miles from Falmouth town and seaside and one mile from Penryn and Falmouth's University at Tremough. The waterside villages of Mylor Bridge and Flushing are a few minutes' drive away, providing wonderful opportunities for boating enthusiasts to access the waterways of the River Fal.
