Penmount House was built in 1906 for a Truro merchant, at the top of the city where the streets give out to fields. It keeps a great deal of its Edwardian detail: the encaustic tiles and the stained glass inner door in the hall, the picture rails, the tiled fireplaces and the deep bay at the front.

The sitting room has the bay onto the garden and a tiled fireplace; the dining room is across the hall. The kitchen at the back has dark green units, a big table and French doors onto the lawn, with a pantry, a utility room and a cloakroom beside it.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room.

The gardens are about half an acre, mostly lawn under tall trees, with a timber workshop at the far end and a gravel drive and garage at the front. The cathedral, the station and the shops are about ten minutes on foot.
