The Old Mill House lies on the edge of Penryn's historic, cobbled square which is much admired and sought after for the fine period homes it contains.

Tucked away, yet remarkably convenient, dating back to the 18th Century, The Old Mill House is just a few minutes walk from Penryn's town and the waterside.

The Old Mill House is an outstanding double fronted listed house whose rarity and quality was acknowledged by Hugh Lander in his book House and Cottage Conversions. The house has a genuinely rare blend of features, providing adaptable, generous and very practical accommodation on three levels including two original attic rooms with views to the river.

Downstairs are two fine reception rooms; the sitting room has 20-pane sash windows to the front and rear and the dining room has an Aga and solid maple floor. The kitchen is also fitted in maple, and has integrated AEG appliances. The home also comprises a utility room, cloakroom plus shower room together with a large bathroom.

The three bedrooms are double in size, the main of which was formerly two rooms. The second attic room has a central chimney and would be good as a study or occasional bedroom.

The house has a delightful feel with deep multi-pane sash windows, painted panel doors, a simple elegant staircase, solid wood and quality plain carpets and neutral colour schemes throughout. Heating is provided by gas fired radiators along with open fires and Aga. Outside, the garden is mostly walled and is established and interesting. There is a detached timber garage plus parking for several cars together with a stone fuel store.

The Old Mill House has a rare list of attributes combined with its close proximity to Penryn. Viewing is recommended by agents Heather and Lay in Falmouth who are asking £450,000.
