Trewartha Terrace, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18

Welcome to The Old Vicarage, a beautiful and substantial residence, offering a wealth of character and charm with many original period features, lovely gardens and wonderful sea views.

This fantastic family home is tucked away from the hustle and bustle on a traffic free, no-through road, close to the town centre, making it very convenient for shops, restaurants, beaches and other facilities in Penzance. The train station is a short five minute walk, giving direct access to London Paddington.

The property provides spacious and versatile accommodation over three floors with four reception rooms, five first floor bedrooms, two attic/annex bedrooms and the potential for a further three attic bedrooms, giving the possibility of ten bedrooms in total, if required. The self-contained annex in the attic is ideal for families requiring a granny flat or perhaps just teenagers wanting their own space. The gardens are a good size and there is plenty of driveway parking.

The well-presented and sympathetically updated accommodation has a warm and welcoming feel with original fireplaces, high ceilings, large sash windows, picture rails, coving, tall skirting boards, exposed floorboards and traditional cast iron radiators, all adding to its period charm.

LOCATION

Penzance is a picturesque coastal town located in the far southwest of Cornwall. Nestled between the rugged cliffs of the Cornish coastline and the calm waters of Mount’s Bay, Penzance boasts stunning views of St. Michael’s Mount, a medieval castle-topped island linked to the mainland by a causeway. Known for its mild climate, the town enjoys lush subtropical gardens, palm trees, and a rich history that stretches back to the early medieval period.

The town itself is a charming blend of old and new. Narrow, cobbled streets wind through areas of historic architecture, with Georgian and Victorian buildings lining the town centre, while the busy harbour area gives a sense of Penzance’s maritime heritage. The town's seafront promenade, with its Victorian architecture, offers a peaceful spot for walks, with views across the bay to the distant horizon.

With its relaxed pace of life, vibrant arts scene, and unrivaled natural beauty, Penzance remains a beloved destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a perfect blend of Cornish charm, history, and coastal allure.
