The property
Fishcross Cottage is a real delight, rarely do we see a home which has undergone such thoughtful restoration and retains much of its character. The cottage was restored, we understand, over several years by a previous owner with the character and feel of the building retained. The attention to detail and the appeal of the cottage’s layout will only be apparent by viewing inside. Proportions within are quite generous with many multi-pane sash windows creating plenty of natural light and a lovely feel as a home. Careful use has been made of exposed granite; there is a lovely, featured landing recess and a sitting room with a fireplace and the potential to reinstall a multifuel stove. The kitchen/dining room is fitted in white oak and has ceramic tiled flooring. A combination boiler fuels radiators throughout and provides hot water. On the first floor is a spacious landing with a cupboard and access to the two double bedrooms and bathroom. Overall this is a spacious and well-presented property offering plenty of character and in a prime position just a few hundred yards from the town centre, amenities and Penryn River. Most properties around New Street comprise Period and Grade II Listed houses and cottages. Available to the market with no onward chain.
Location
Penryn is one of the oldest towns in Cornwall, having received its first charter in 1265; a full town of surprises and surrounded by lovely countryside. The building of Glasney College in 1265 placed the town on the map then the arrival of Falmouth and Exeter University turned Penryn into a buzzing and vibrant area. Many local sports clubs are active in the community including Penryn Football Club, St Gluvias Cricket Club and Penryn Rugby Club. Penryn is served by Penryn Primary Academy and Penryn College, whilst a 6th form can be found available at Falmouth School. The town enjoys good communication with Falmouth via its regular bus service and its train station, which links to the city of Truro and mainline Paddington service. Falmouth town (approximately 2 miles) provides an eclectic and more comprehensive range of shopping, schooling, business and leisure facilities.
