The property
5 Summercourt is a townhouse on three levels, situated on the edge of Penryn town, on the banks of the Penryn River and just a five minutes stroll from the harbour.
From the small front garden, step up to the reception hall and then through to the kitchen, following through to the living-dining room which has French windows to rear courtyard.
Head upstairs to the first floor and a double bedroom with en suite shower-room and balustrade with a view of the river; at this level there is the family bathroom.
Go on up more stairs to the second floor and two more bedrooms - a twin and a single.
The snug courtyard garden has garden furniture and BBQ and is enclosed by a low stone wall, looking over the tidal river where ducks and swans swim at high tide.
A great base for exploring Cornwall, with good sandy beaches nearby.

One of the oldest market towns in Cornwall, the pretty port of Penryn boasts a wealth of historic architecture and harbour heritage with attractive granite buildings steeply sloping along the cobbled streets down to the sea. There’s a good choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs in the town, along with a museum offering free entry, and the tranquil Enys Gardens on the outskirts of the town, providing a range of grounds and a peaceful haven. Further along the Penryn River, just one mile towards the sea you’ll find the famous seaport of Falmouth, with a host of things to keep you entertained including harbour-side pubs and eateries offering spectacular views, stunning Blue Flag beaches and a bustling town centre. Visit the National Maritime Museum for a taste of Cornwall’s sea-faring history, or the fine Tudor fortress of Pendennis Castle, superb set gazing out to sea.
