House For Sale £395,000
The property This individual house lies in a generous plot and garden, once part of the grounds of the elegant Edwardian house next door. We believe 16a was built in 1983, and has since established itself nicely amongst its prominent more mature neighbours.
Accommodation is light and bright with two double bedrooms on the lower ground floor, each accessing the garden via French doors. There are separate sitting and dining rooms and some super views to the rear, overlooking harbour town and coast. All is comfortable and practical with plenty of storage space, generous hallway, staircase and landing areas and a utility room beside the kitchen.
The house is set well back from Melvill Road with plenty of car parking space. To the rear is a lovely established and enclosed garden full of shrubs, plants and small trees.
It is incredibly rare to find a detached house at this price point and in this situation. Whilst perfectly comfortable 'as is', there is great scope here to uplift and indeed possibly expand into the large, uncluttered loft space, creating further accommodation and potential for an even better harbour outlook.
The location Occupying a remarkably convenient and accessible spot, 26a lies between Falmouth's seafront and harbourside with so much of what Falmouth has to offer on its near doorstep.
The location is superb, situated on the town's southern side, a few moments' walk to the seafront and Gyllyngvase beach and café and a leisurely walk from the town and harbour where there is an excellent and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of individual shops as well as national chains together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth Docks are a major contributor to the town's economy and along with Falmouth University (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and Falmouth Marine School, ensure an all-year-round vibrant community. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and another in Penryn as well as highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro. Falmouth boasts the third deepest 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. Falmouth is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
