Penryn is an historic market town located at the head of Penryn River with a varied selection of niche retail shops as well as a convenience store, Post Office, cafes and Public Houses.

The Railway Station provides a regular service to Falmouth and the cathedral city of Truro where there is a mainline rail link to London Paddington and the north of England.  The expanding Tremough University is situated on the edge of the town, whilst Penryn College is easily accessible via the numerous bus routes serving the town.

The harbour town of Falmouth is approximately two miles distant with a wider range of specialist shops and high street stores as well as high quality restaurants and bars to cater for every taste.  There are four beaches at Gyllngvase, Castle, Swanpool and Maenporth, whilst the sailing waters of the Carrick Roads are regarded as amongst the best in the country.  

Popular 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 close by.  Evening entertainment can often be found at Events Square in the heart of the town or you can choose from a number of films at the multi-screen cinema.

Selling and letting homes across West Cornwall in a very personal and modern way. Please let us put your home 'On the MAP'

The MAP team are all very experienced and well established property professionals who have helped thousands of buyers and sellers over the years across West Cornwall. Between us we have over 125 years of selling and letting homes in the region.

Since opening in 2017 the business has grown considerably mainly through recommendation. We are delighted to publish the numerous testimonials we have received online and to challenge the poor perceptions the public have about estate agents. Estate agents are not all the same!

MAP uses the latest technology including 360 degree cameras but is primarily about customer service something that is often very much lacking when selling or buying a home.

We would love to help and discuss any potential home move with clients so don't hesitate to get in touch. We offer a free, no obligation valuation service and are equally as happy speaking to you with any home moving questions you may have.

We look forward to hearing from you if we can assist in anyway.
