2 bed Flat For Sale £495,000
The property Grade II listed and built in 1789 for the local landowner Mr George Fox and family who owned the house until 1937, converted into apartments just over 40 years ago. Apartment five is located on the top floor and commands very pleasing views from most of the windows. The large bay window to the front is superb and floods the large sitting room with natural light. Our vendor converted the attic rooms (thought to have been the servants' quarters) into a wonderful master bedroom suite with copper bath and en-suite wet room. The second bedroom is also a good size with a mezzanine area. The kitchen/breakfast room has been refitted to a high standard and offers harbour and water views. Outside one can enjoy the manicured communal gardens. With this apartments is the added benefit of a garage plus car parking space.
Below the house (where the cellars would have been located), each apartment has a store and apartment 5 has updated this space which makes for a very comfortable and useful extra room/office.
The owners of each of the seven apartments have a share of the freehold and therefore have a say in what happens and what maintenance is required.
The location Grovehill Crescent is one of those locations that we are excited to present a property to market on! A much sought-after spot due to its peaceful nature and diverse mix of residences whilst being truly town centre. One has a short walk into town within a few minutes whilst Falmouth town train station is only a quick walk down Grovehill Crescent, linking you to Truro and a direct line from there to London Paddington. Falmouth is renowned for its beautiful period buildings and wonderful sailing waters; a true sailor's town, it has seen a renaissance over the past twenty years and offers a vast array of bars, restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes. Famed for its many festivals and regattas, the town also offers a good selection of shops, from boutiques to high street retailers. Falmouth's southerly side is its seafront with sandy beaches, Henry viii's Pendennis Castle and access to incredible walks and scenery along the Southwest Coastal Path. Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country; little wonder the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.

Sitting room 24' x 19' 6" (7.32m x 5.94m) Lovely light room thanks to the large bay window to the front that commands lovely views over the garden and beyond. A ceiling height of 11' (3.35m) makes this a very generously proportioned room and the fireplace creates a warm-homely feel. One can't help but think of all the people and conversations that have taken place in this room over the last 250 years…… so much history!

Built-in appliances include dishwasher, wine cooler, electric oven with gas hob and large stainless extractor over. The room is large enough to accommodate a pine farmhouse table, settle and free-standing fridge/freezer. An amazing feature in this room is a commercial/architecture light that hangs from the high ceiling. Double width sash windows look towards the harbour and bring in natural light. A pair of glazed sliding door slides gives access to and from the entrance hallway.
The hallway leads to a turning set of stairs to the first floor (and master bedroom suite) and to bedroom two and bathroom.
Master bedroom suite 34' (10.36m) x 16' 5" (5m) reducing to 11' 4" (3.45m) What a room! Permission was granted to convert what was thought to have been servants' quarters into this fabulous bedroom.

Small French doors lead out onto the roof area which gives amazing panoramic views of Falmouth, Pendennis Castle and Falmouth Bay. A secret cupboard houses the combination gas boiler which fuels radiator central heating and hot water supply. Many additional storage cupboards can be found in the eaves as well as a very useful utility/storeroom to the far end of the room (on the other side of the staircase) that can be used to suit ones' requirements.
