The property
Converted in the late 1900's; this charming top floor apartment is conveniently located in the heart of Penryn and only a few minutes walk to local amenities, the University campus, College and transport links including Penryn Train Station and a bus stop. There is particular style and appeal to Helston Road with a mixture of period cottages, with their attractive stone and render facades, four pane sash windows and granite steps. The apartment is spacious throughout with high ceilings and plenty of natural light flooding in from three sides of the building. The accommodation comprises a ground floor front door, with internal staircases and landing up to the apartment. Once at the top, a hall links to all the rooms neatly together. The modern fitted kitchen is light and has a useful breakfast bar, the bedroom is large and bright with lots of space for wardrobes and draws, while the separate sitting room is dual aspect and benefits from views over the town and down to the river. It also provides access to the airing cupboard and the modern bathroom. Outside there is enough driveway parking for at least two vehicles parked in tandem, this is shared with the apartments below. This apartment is a real joy with plenty of natural light, beautifully presented with wonderful views and would be a great purchase for a first time buyer.
The 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 has turned Penryn into a buzzing and vibrant area. There are many local sports clubs who 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 nearby, 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.
