Architectural design & build in Penryn

Penryn is the medieval town at the head of the Carrick Roads, older than Falmouth and now part of its commuter belt, with the Falmouth University campus on its outskirts. Penryn Conservation Area covers the historic core including Lower Market Street and the granite warehouses on the river; listed buildings are common. Article 4 directions affect the town centre, removing some permitted development rights.
