House For Sale £485,000
On the instructions of the co-executors and to be sold for the first time in approximately 50 years - a broad 'double-fronted' house on this, one of Falmouth's most sought-after terraces, by virtue of the stunning, elevated, panoramic views over the town and across the full breadth of Falmouth's ever-active inner and outer harbours, from The Greenbank Hotel and picturesque village of Flushing in one direction, to Trefusis Headland, the port area, deep sailing waters of the Carrick Roads and shoreline of The Roseland peninsula in the other. One of the town's finest views.
The Property
In the same family's ownership for nearly fifty years, the availability of Number 17 provides a rare opportunity to purchase, what is, a much broader house in the terrace, already extended to the rear to provide three bedrooms to the main accommodation on the ground and first floors, in addition to which there is a lower ground floor flat, benefiting from independent external access and its own outside sitting area.
The property therefore lends itself to continued occupation by a large family or, alternatively, is ideal for those requiring a flat, ideal for a relative, or as a lucrative source of letting income etc, subject to any necessary consents.
The majority of the windows are replacement uPVC double glazed; there are two relatively modern gas fired combination boilers, separately supplying the main and self-contained accommodation; with the exceptional views and proximity of the town's facilities, all of which are within walking distance, providing a future owner with a superb opportunity to put their own 'mark' on this already substantial and much-loved family home.
An early viewing is therefore strongly recommended by the vendors' Sole Agent.
