Falmouth, Cornwall TR11


Description
A substantial five bedroom detached property set within its own grounds just over one acre in a private location in Falmouth with plenty of parking and large garden.

Location

Falmouth lies at the entrance to the Carrick Roads, a beautiful estuary bordered by countryside and small waterside villages and home to sheltered anchorages and yacht marinas. Falmouth also has wonderful sandy south facing beaches and is consistently voted one of the best places to live in the south west (The Sunday Times).

Falmouth Harbour itself provides an ever-changing outlook and has hosted transatlantic races in addition to many other sailing and water sport championships. For the keen day sailor or dedicated yachtsman, the South Cornish coast offers some of the finest sailing waters in the UK. A car, boat or ferry ride away are beautiful creeks and wonderful waterside pubs and restaurants. Falmouth itself is a colourful and historic port with an eclectic mix of galleries, coffee shops, artisan bakeries bars and restaurants and home to the National Maritime Museum Cornwall and several universities including Exeter’s Cornwall Campus and Falmouth University. There is also a good range of primary schools and Senior school available within Falmouth. Falmouth golf club sits on the headland above Falmouth Bay while much of the surrounding coastline is protected by the National Trust. There are a huge amount of water sports on offer in Falmouth from weekly yacht and dinghy racing, gig rowing, paddle-boarding, diving and fishing. Gyllyngvase and Swanpool beaches are just over a mile away.

Communication links are good with Penmere railway station being less than 0.2 miles way which runs from Falmouth to Truro where there is a main line rail service to London Paddington. Newquay airport serves a number of domestic and international locations.

Description

This is a rare find, a substantial detached property surrounded by its own mature gardens that provide a high level of privacy in Falmouth. It is less than one mile into the town centre and just over a mile to the very popular beaches of Gyllygvase and Swanpool.

The property is off a private road shared with five other properties in what was originally the gardens of Penmere Manor Hotel and built, we think, sometime in the 1970’s. It has been a private residence and more recently a rental property and is now in need of some modernisation.

From the drive, steps lead up to the front entrance and on into the large entrance hall. Off this hall is the staircase to first floor, a short flight of steps down to the lower ground floor and door into a large reception room with window to front and sliding doors to the rear terrace and garden and door to study.

The lower ground floor has a good-sized dining room, large kitchen/breakfast room off which is the downstairs ‘WC’, door to garden and door to utility. The kitchen/breakfast room runs the width of the property with window to front and rear with integrated Zanussi double oven, four ring gas hob and space for dishwasher and fridge. The utility is a good size with plenty of space for further fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Off the utility room is a door into the garage.

The staircase opens out on to the spacious landing with window to front, short flight of steps down to the second landing, loft access and door to principal bedroom. This is a really good-sized principal bedroom with plenty of built-in wardrobes, sliding doors out to the covered balcony overlooking the rear garden and door to en suite shower room.

Off the second landing are three large double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, all with built-in wardrobes and two sharing a covered balcony overlooking the rear garden. There is also a further single bedroom, a large family bathroom with bath and separate shower, a linen cupboard, boiler cupboard and store cupboard.

Gardens and grounds

The property is approached off the private ‘in and out’ drive. At the rear of the property is the main garden which is well stocked with mature trees and shrubs. Adjacent to the property is a path that runs around the house with a decked terrace at the rear accessed from the sitting room and steps up to an area of lawn. At the front the drive wraps around a further area of garden also well stocked with mature trees and shrubs. The boundaries are well defined by a combination of low stone walls and wooden fencing.

Double Garage-

Integrated double garage with power and light, up and over doors and door into utility. Within the garage is a further area that has historically been used as a gym.
