  • An elegant and historic family home with a pretty, enclosed garden
  • Quietly located mid-way between Penzance seafront and town centre
  • A thoughtful layout includes space for children to play
Property code: OC-P00756

This peaceful Grade II-listed property is ideally located between Penzance seafront and the bustling town centre. It’s the perfect base for groups of six guests and two dogs to explore the best of Cornwall’s coast and countryside.

Follow the pretty pathway and let yourselves into this historic family home. Wander through to the living room, where high ceilings, well-dressed windows and period features create a tranquil atmosphere after a busy day of swimming. Gather on the comfy sofas and find something on the TV that everyone will enjoy while a member of your group stokes up the open fireplace. Have a singalong in the snug, where a classic piano transports you to the elegance of olden-day musical evenings. Cook in the light-filled kitchen space, and serve around the charming table. Adults can continue chatting into the night while the kids entertain themselves with books and board games. Choose from three tastefully-furnished bedrooms, each with stacks of storage space for all your beach essentials. Enjoy the fresh air in the enclosed cottage-style garden, and plan your day with the rest of your group.

From your doorstep, stretch your legs with a 300-metre walk down the beach. Here, dip your toes in the crystal clear waters for a casual paddle, or go headfirst with your surfboard. Visit the bustling harbourside, where you can stock up the cupboards with delicious local delicacies. Stop by the many pubs, shops, bars and restaurants to taste locally-caught fish dishes and real ales. Time the trip right, and many folk clubs and local festivals are available as part of their flourishing arts scene. Jump in the car and travel to St Ives (8 miles) for a meander around their world-renowned galleries, or venture to Land’s End for natural splendour and a shopping spree at the West Country Shopping Village (10 miles).

The location of the property is fantastic and we absolutely loved Penzance. The house has character for sure but the overall cleanliness let it down. Parking wasnt the easiest either, especially if you have a big car! We stay in a lot of places travelling around the UK and wouldnt revisit.

Lovely period house in stunning Georgian square in PZ. If youre looking for understated charm in the heart of historic Penzance this is the place for you. If youre after luxury & all mod cons, it may not suit. But if you love Chapel Street, 45 Queen Street, The Turks Head, Argoe Newlyn, The Shore etc youll be located perfectly for all and in a smalRead morel house oozing character. The back gate that leads to the stunning St Marys churchyard is so beautiful on a sunny morning wed take our coffee out there and sit at the picnic tables. We have stayed here 3 times now and fully expect to return! Hide

Property in good location. Parking in garage challenging. Overall, decoration and furniture would benefit from an upgrade as well used.

This is the perfect place to explore Penzance from. Its location is unbeatable with town and seafront just steps away. The house is situated in a beautiful promenade of period houses.
