Penzance forms the commercial heart of the Land's End Peninsula and retains a number of historic buildings, including the recently refurbished Art Deco Jubilee Pool. A popular tourist destination with a vibrant atmosphere, the town offers a broad and eclectic mixture of shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries and local inns. Also within a short stroll are the tranquil subtropical gardens of Morrab and Penlee, where you'll also find an art gallery and museum celebrating the history and culture of West Cornwall.
Close by are numerous sandy beaches and renowned local attractions, such as the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, the Tate Gallery at St Ives, and St Michael's Mount at Marazion. Picturesque villages nearby include Mousehole and Marazion, while Newlyn boasts an active fishing harbour that is always bustling with life. The railway station in Penzance provides a direct link with London Paddington.
The Property - Beautifully positioned opposite the entrance to Penlee House, with its celebrated gardens and museum, this property occupies an enviable spot at the heart of Penzance's cultural quarter. The location offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful outlook across green spaces whilst being within moments of the town's vibrant cafés, galleries and historic streets.
Although in need of modernisation, the property retains an abundance of charm and character throughout, offering the perfect canvas to create a stylish and comfortable home still preserving its period features.
Stepping inside, a welcoming hallway immediately sets the tone for a home brimming with charm and character. The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged to suit both family living and entertaining. A spacious lounge with a striking bay window frames lovely views of Penlee Park, bathing the room in natural light. A cosy snug, complete with a fireplace, provides the perfect retreat for winter evenings, while the adjoining dining room creates an inviting setting for gatherings and family meals. The well-planned kitchen offers generous worktop space and ample storage, complemented by a practical utility room and an additional shower room, adding everyday convenience. Each room on this level is impressively versatile in size and layout, adaptable to a wide range of lifestyles.
The sense of space continues upstairs, where three generously proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable and flexible accommodation. A dedicated dressing room and a well-appointed family bathroom add further practicality. From this floor, a staircase leads to an additional bedroom on the upper level. Here, elevated views stretch across the leafy expanse of Penlee Park, offering a private and peaceful retreat with a truly picturesque outlook.
