THE PROPERTY
Thought to have been built between 150-250 years ago as three properties, Brig Cottage is now a very characterful four bedroomed home. This stone walled and hidden location make this a very quiet place to live and the “secret garden” across the Ope way is such a surprise and wildlife haven in the middle of town. The heating system and electrics have been updated and a recent new kitchen fitted but there is “finishing off” to do, mainly redecorating, and we have valued the property to reflect this.
THE LOCATION
As its College Ope address suggests, Brig Cottage 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 known 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 King Henry VIII's fort at Pendennis Castle. Brig Cottage 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. Brig Cottage 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.
