PENRYN | £189,950 | 2 bedroom Detached  

45 Truro Lane is a lovely detached Penryn Cottage tucked off the main street yet within about 100 yards of the town.

Penryn is an historic and ancient market town with an active community and good everyday facilities including nursery, primary and secondary schools. The town enjoys good communication with Falmouth via its bus service and train station, which links to Truro City and mainline Paddington. Penryn is enjoying something of a renaissance with much excitement at the sighting of the University of Cornwall at Tremough and also of the regeneration and development of Penryn’s inner Harbour and Harbour Village. Falmouth town (approximately 2 miles) provides comprehensive shopping, schooling, business and leisure facilities. The stunning coastlines and riverways of the Fal and Helford provide some of the finest sailing waters in the U.K. Sandy beaches and the region’s mild climate, ensure the areas popularity both as a holiday resort and as a home town for the lucky few. Newquay airport is located less than an hour’s drive from Penryn (normal conditions permitting) and provides regular flights to London Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, Leeds/Bradford, Bristol and Dublin. Operating airlines include Air Southwest and Ryanair.
