Architectural design & build in Penzance

Penzance is the principal town of Penwith, with a working harbour, Georgian and Regency seafront and a dense conservation core around Chapel Street and Market Jew Street. The Penzance Conservation Area covers most of the central streets and seafront; expect close design scrutiny on shopfronts, sash windows, render colours and roofing materials. Listed buildings are common, including grade II* properties along Chapel Street.
