Morcoms Row, Penryn, TR10

THE PROPERTY

A charming and characterful one-bedroom cottage, beautifully positioned along Morcoms Row, adjoining the ever-popular Mutton Row and enjoying delightful outlooks across the garden and towards Penryn. Offering a wonderful blend of period charm and modern comfort, this inviting home has been recently refreshed cosmetically and is offered to the market with vacant possession and no onward chain. The accommodation centres around a bright and welcoming sitting/dining room featuring oak flooring, a wood-burning stove with granite hearth and lintel, exposed painted beams, fitted cupboards and lovely views over the front garden. The room flows openly into the fitted kitchen, which is thoughtfully designed in keeping with the cottage style and enjoys views over the rear courtyard. To the first floor is a spacious double bedroom with oak floorboards, beamed ceilings and pleasant views across Penryn, together with a modern bathroom fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite and naturally lit by large rear windows. Externally, the property benefits from a delightful sunny front garden designed for ease of maintenance, with lawned and gravelled areas ideal for outside seating and entertaining. To the rear is a courtyard area with outbuilding storage and access onto Mutton Row via granite steps. The cottage has been a successful rental property for many years and would make an ideal first-time purchase, investment opportunity, holiday let or charming Cornish bolt-hole.

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.

AGENTS NOTE

We understand the cottage is constructed with granite and stone elevations to the ground floor, with cob construction to the exterior first-floor walls, as is common with several cottages along Mutton Row. We have spoken with a local mortgage advisor who has confirmed that suitable lenders are available for cob-constructed properties, subject to the surveyor’s comments within the mortgage valuation.
