Old Well Gardens, Penryn

THE PROPERTY Built in 1988 when developments were designed with a good degree of space and this is evident at Old Well Gardens where the properties are nicely spaced apart, gardens are of a generous size and the properties themselves are well-proportioned. Our vendors have lived at number 45 for the past 28 years and have really enjoyed living here, now selling to downsize as the children have grown up and moved out. Although the house looks lovely and homely there is still scope for improvement and the likelihood is that the new owner may decide to remove the wall between the kitchen and dining room, personal choice and taste of course and our vendor likes it just the way it is. Two years ago our vendor had a rather nice conservatory fitted to the rear, this is of a high quality and opens to the Westerly facing garden….perfect for sunny evenings. THE LOCATION Old Well Gardens is a 'no through road' located on the Northern and favoured St Gluvias/Enys side of Penryn. Most of the properties in this location were built in the 1980's and 90's and enjoy plots much larger than those of their modern counterparts. Here one benefits from being close to town but away from the immediate through traffic and noise, as well as being on the edge of an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' on the Carrick Roads with stunning scenery and the popular villages of Mylor and Flushing close by. Penryn is a historic and ancient market town with an active community and excellent everyday facilities including a 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 witnessed in the regeneration and development of Penryn's inner Harbour area providing riverside accommodation and extensive and exciting dining options. Penryn Campus is occupied by both Falmouth and Exeter Universities sharing buildings, facilities and services as part of the combined universities in Cornwall project; this recent transition into a University town is creating a real 'buzz' for the area. Falmouth town (approximately 2 miles) is a thriving and vibrant town with an eclectic mixture of independent and national shops, many galleries showcasing local art and crafts and an excellent and varied selection of places to eat and drink.
