This charming cottage is located on West Street in Penryn, Cornwall. The property benefits from being within a short distance of Penryn train station (0.48km) providing convenient access to other towns and cities. There are also several primary and secondary schools within a reasonable distance, including Penryn Primary Academy (0.90km) and Penryn College (1.04km), both rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted. However, it is worth noting that Falmouth School (1.86km) and Mabe Community Primary School (2.46km) have been rated as having ‘Serious Weaknesses’ according to Ofsted reports.

The cottage itself appears to be in good condition. While it shows some signs of age and character, consistent with its description as a character cottage, there is no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations needed. The interior images suggest a well-maintained property with modern amenities such as a recently fitted bathroom. The small, paved rear garden provides a private outdoor space.

Considering the list price of £195,000, the average price of properties in the area (£297,500), and the average price per square foot (£337), this property appears to be reasonably priced. The smaller size of the cottage (244.34 sqft) compared to the area average (881 sqft) and the lack of a substantial plot size is reflected in the lower list price. However, its location in Penryn, proximity to amenities and transport links, and its charming character features contribute to its overall value. Nearby comparable properties on West Street range in price from £142,500 to £315,000, further supporting the list price as being within the reasonable range for the area.

Based on the provided images, the property shows characteristics of a traditional property, having retained some traditional features while incorporating modern updates. The property does not appear to need renovation.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
