This elegant Georgian townhouse is set in a tranquil and picturesque square close to the centre of the market town of Penzance. It’s ideal for families or small groups and welcomes two canine companions, who’ll love to chase their tails in the garden and get their paws sandy on the beach nearby.
Wind your way up the pretty garden path and enter this charming two-storey home. With many beautiful original features, the property is quiet, comfortable and deceptively spacious. Gather around the open fire in the graciously proportioned lounge, read a book in the playroom or even play the piano in the cosy snug. The kitchen/diner is an impressive room with a high, timber-clad ceiling and stone floor – and offers plenty of space for you to set down your dogs’ beds and bowls. On this floor there’s also a shower room, while upstairs there are three handsome bedrooms: a king-size with an en-suite bathroom, a double and a twin. Through a glass door in the kitchen you can access the enclosed rear garden, which has a lawn that’s perfect for sniffing around, plus a paved area with a table and chairs for al fresco meals.
Plenty of shops, pubs and cafes in Penzance are Fido-friendly, and from here you’re well-placed to explore the coastal path in either direction. Walk about 150 metres downhill and you’re on the promenade, from where you can turn right for the interesting fishing town of Newlyn (1 mile) and on for beautiful Mousehole (another 2 miles) – where there are gorgeous winding streets and lovely shops and galleries. Alternatively, turn left and after less than a mile you’ll reach Long Rock Beach, which is dog friendly all year round and great for a long run on the sand with a view of iconic St Michael’s Mount.
