3 bed Flat For Sale £245,000
A great opportunity to own this well situated, three bedroom older style maisonette set just a few seconds walk from Falmouth's fabulous sea front, with its level walk past Castle Beach, Princess Pavilion and Gardens to Gyllyngvase Beach in the West and a longer stroll to Pendennis Castle and the Point to the East.
The property is one of three apartments originally converted from a larger older style home on Melvill Road with this particular home being more easily approached from the rear service lane. Having been in the same ownership for over two decades, we are now coming to the market and selling with 'no onward chain'.
As you will see upon viewing, the maisonette is in need of some modernisation and cosmetic re-decoration, but this will allow someone with imagination and flair and the budget to match, the chance to personalise and create their own home which faces due South.
Approached from a side pathway and through a double glazed door which takes you into the open plan kitchen and living room that has a broad double glazed patio door overlooking and leading to the sheltered courtyard garden. From the kitchen, a door leads into a third bedroom with cloakroom/wc and this could also become a separate dining room or study if required. A staircase rises to the first floor landing where you will find two bedrooms, the larger having a walk-in bay and casement door and access to what could become a South facing roof deck if required. A basic bathroom completes the inside of the property and this would ideally be reconfigured to make better use of the available space. Finally, there are two tandem parking spaces which are invaluable as vehicle space is at a premium in this area.
The location just back from the sea front is perfect and allows you to walk to the branch line train station at Falmouth Docks which links to the cathedral city of Truro and a longer stroll into the town centre past the Events Square. A number of university campuses and colleges are also within walking distance.
Falmouth's popularity as a living or holiday destination has never been higher with the town continuously appearing in the top ten list of seaside towns published by the press and this is no surprise to those of us lucky enough to live and work in town. The centre has an eclectic blend of independent and high street named retail outlets along with a wide and diverse selection of restaurants, bars, cafes and takeaway's that will cater for most tastes. The town is synonymous with the arts and entertainment with a multi-screen cinema, library, art gallery, Poly Theatre and at the far end of town, The Maritime Museum which is set in the Events Square that play host to a number of festivals throughout the year.
This property is considered ideal as a home or investment and due to the lack of available properties within the town, we strongly recommend an immediate viewing to avoid disappointment.
The Accommodation Comprises:
A communal concrete pathway leads from the parking area alongside the building. Own UPVC double glazed front door leads to:
Kitchen/Living Room (8.25m (27'1") x 3.56m (11'8"))
Overall measurement.
Kitchen Area
A spacious open plan area which has so much potential. The kitchen offers a simple range of matching wall and base units in pine, beech block work surfaces and ceramic tiling over, 1 1/2 bowl composite sink and a mixer tap over and space for a gas cooker, ceiling fan, space and plumbing for washing machine, laminate wood flooring, open plan to:
Living Area
Enjoying a dual aspect having a double glazed window to the side and broad aluminium framed double glazed patio door with matching side panel plus vertical blinds and this enjoys a sunny Southerly aspect and gives you access to a sheltered courtyard outside. There is a focal point fireplace on a raised hearth (not tested), dark wood bookshelves, central ceiling light, TV aerial point, fitted carpet, turning staircase to first floor.
Bedroom Three (3.66m (12'0") x 2.54m (8'4"))
Approached from the kitchen and with double glazed window overlooking the side aspect, wash hand basin set in a louvre-doored vanity unit, double radiator, door to:
Cloakroom
Having a low flush wc, extractor fan, wall mounted gas central heating boiler, fitted carpet. This room would also make a separate dining room or study.
Bedroom One (3.51m (11'6") x 2.67m (8'9"))
Plus bay 1.17m (3'10") x 1.02m (3'4")
This room is of an irregular shape and therefore impossible to give the exact dimensions. The bay enjoys a triple aspect, full length double glazed flank windows and French door with matching side panel leading to the outside. The best ideal would be to replace the roof and ceiling which covers the lounge and reinforce it to make a roof deck (subject to any required planning permission and regulations). This bedroom has an original range of bedroom furniture with wardrobe cupboards, central bed recess and over head storage, radiator and fitted carpet.
Bedroom Two (3.07m (10'1") x 1.83m (6'0"))
Measured to walls.

Bathroom (2.13m (7'0") x 1.47m (4'10"))
With coloured suite comprising handled and panelled bath, pedestal wash basin with chrome easy-on hot and cold taps, low-flush wc, fitted carpet, extractor fan. This bathroom needs replacing and reconfiguring to make better use of the available space.
Outside
There is a delightful sheltered paved courtyard garden facing due South which is approached from a side gate and the patio doors from the sitting room and at the moment this has well stocked rockeries with plants and shrubs and these are in need of some attention. This is a delightful place to relax and entertain your friends whether you live here permanently or use it as a base for holidays.
