The location Penryn is one of Cornwall’s oldest and most historic market towns, having received its first charter in 1265, and today offers a unique blend of rich heritage, creative energy and strong community spirit.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside and positioned alongside the picturesque Penryn River, the town has evolved into an increasingly vibrant and sought-after location, influenced in part by the presence of Falmouth and Exeter University.

This property is ideally situated within walking distance of a wide range of amenities including local shops, cafés, schools, the university campus, supermarkets, Penryn Business Park, bus routes and Penryn train station, which provides regular links to Falmouth, Truro and the mainline service to London Paddington.

The town itself benefits from a variety of active sports clubs and community groups, alongside well-regarded schooling including Penryn Primary Academy and Penryn College.

Just two miles away, Falmouth offers an eclectic mix of independent shops, restaurants, beaches, sailing waters, coastal walks and leisure facilities, making it one of Cornwall’s most desirable coastal destinations.

Truro, Cornwall’s commercial and administrative centre, is also within easy reach and provides additional shopping, private schooling, The Hall for Cornwall theatre, Royal Cornwall Hospital Treliske and direct rail connections to London Paddington.

Combining convenience, connectivity and lifestyle appeal, Penryn continues to attract a wide range of buyers seeking character, community and easy access to both coast and countryside.
