This charming detached house with 19th Century origins, is a rarity in the extreme, tucked away a few moments from Penryn town and riverside in a delightful setting adjoining the historic former site of Glasney's 13th Century College and Monastery. Inspired and exceptionally well presented 3 bedroom accommodation with bath/shower room up and downstairs, lovely living space flowing into a glorious South facing rear garden and a stylish kitchen/breakfast room to a delightfully sheltered courtyard. Garage and driveway parking for several cars.
Chyandowr is an absolute gem unlike anything one normally sees. We understand it originates from the 1800's, pre-dating the neighbouring farmhouse, and was owned by the Mayor of Penryn in the 1980's, when it was remodelled and expanded. The property is detached, sitting at the end of College Ope in a traffic-free position where so much of historic Penryn is on one's doorstep. Chandowr lies within a lovely garden, the south-facing rear of which is accessed via 3 sets of French doors, two from the sitting/dining room and the other from the bedroom downstairs. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and a shower room/WC. The 'living' room measures a healthy 22' long, leading through into a superbly fitted and stylish kitchen/breakfast room with built-in appliances, granite worktops and Amtico flooring. This room accesses a lovely sheltered enclosed and paved courtyard. In addition to the recently refitted upstairs shower room/WC, is a luxurious, bath and shower room downstairs, again with Amtico flooring. Windows and doors one UPVC double glazed and a gas-fired Worcester boiler, installed in 2019, fuels the radiator central heating and hot water supply. The original garage has been defined as a large store with a comfortable office behind, but this could be reinstated if preferred, as the roller door remains. There is parking space on the driveway for 4/5 cars. We are excited by this instruction, recognising how rare it is to see a home with great individuality and so many fine features in a special location like this. Wholeheartedly recommended.
THE LOCATION
As its College Ope address suggests, Chyandowr lies in a very special and historic position with its garden adjoining the site of the former Glasney College and Monastery, built by the Bishop of Exeter around 1265. This was a centre of ecclesiastical power in Medieval Cornwall and probably the best know and most important of Cornwall's religious institutions. The site at Glasney was at the head of the creek with much of the building modelled on Exeter Cathedral. King Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries saw the demise of Glasney in 1548 where much of the building's granite was taken to build Kind Henry VIII's fort at Pendennis Castle. Another little Opeway beside Chyandowr's drive emerges into St Thomas Street with its mixture of Grade II listed houses, some dating back to the 1500's, the top of which enters Penryn town, and at the bottom, a few paces away, is the head of Penryn's tidal river. Chyandowr sits at the end of the College Ope with no passing traffic and its vehicular access through a narrow 'slip' easily passed through once used to it. Penryn is an 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 excellent, 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 relatively recent transition into a University town is creating a real 'buzz' for the area. Falmouth town (approximately 2 miles) provides comprehensive shopping, schooling, business and leisure facilities.
