Description
This home perfectly combines the charm, proportions and individuality of a period townhouse with the convenience of modern living. The property has been thoughtfully extended to create additional living space whilst retaining the high ceilings, generous proportions and distinctive character associated with its Victorian origins.
Presented in excellent decorative order, this is a home that can be enjoyed from day one. Modern improvements sit comfortably alongside the property's period features, creating an appealing balance of character, style and practicality. A particular highlight is the large contemporary eat-in kitchen, which provides an impressive and sociable heart to the home. It offers plenty of space for family dining, entertaining and everyday life, whilst the modern finish complements the character of the surrounding accommodation. Arranged over three floors, the property provides four bedrooms together with spacious and versatile living accommodation. The thoughtful extension enhances the sense of space, while the combination of Victorian detailing, high ceilings and modern improvements gives the house a distinctive personality rarely found in more contemporary homes.
To the rear is a private patio-style garden, providing a sheltered and attractive outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining and alfresco dining. A dedicated sheltered dining area makes particularly good use of the garden and provides an inviting setting for outdoor meals and gatherings.
An exceptional Penzance location is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets. Positioned between Morrab Botanical Gardens and Penlee Park, the house is ideally placed to enjoy two of Penzance's finest green spaces. Morrab Botanical Gardens is renowned for its mature and sub-tropical planting, peaceful atmosphere and distinctive character, while Penlee Park offers extensive landscaped grounds and recreational space. The park is also home to Penlee House Gallery and Museum, an important cultural attraction celebrating the art, history and heritage of West Cornwall, including works associated with the Newlyn School.
The coast is equally accessible, Penzance seafront and the iconic Jubilee Pool are within easy reach, providing opportunities for swimming, coastal walks and enjoying the spectacular setting of Mount's Bay. Penzance town centre is also within comfortable walking distance, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries and everyday amenities. The harbour and railway station are conveniently close by, further enhancing the property's appeal as both a permanent home and an ideal Cornish coastal retreat.
