House For Sale £680,000
The property This charming 1930s house impresses on many levels. It is a rarity, combining many valuable, hard to find features in a very special and convenient residential position.
The property has been expanded, reconfigured and fine-tuned by its discerning owners without expense spared. A keenness to introduce and install energy producing and saving features, with solar panels and battery storage, has paid dividends resulting in an impressive energy performance rating (EPC) as well as real world savings and a feed-in tariff income from additional generated energy.
The house's original charm and characteristics remain and blend seamlessly with a superb and stylish extension, creating a spacious and appealing three/four bedroom, two/three reception room interior.
The large kitchen/dining and living room is flooded with natural light and likely will become the social hub of the house. A room beside provides flexibility as an en suite downstairs bedroom, studio or work from home office enjoying step free and independent access outside.
We like the generous solid oak floored hallway and twice turning staircase leading upstairs to the landing, modern shower room/WC and three bedrooms, the main measuring a healthy 18' long.
A brick paved driveway parks several cars off-road, where there is a 'Myenergi Zappi' electrical car charging point with the blissful ability to supply generated power from the roof.
The rear garden is enclosed, usable and appealing with its areas of lawn with standstone and anti-slip timber terraces. There is a useful, lined workshop/shed with power and light.
The location Grovehill Crescent is a highly regarded residential address and much sought-after by those 'in the know'. Its convenience is remarkable where the town, harbourside and Events Square are just a few minutes' walk away and so much of what delights about Falmouth is on the doorstep. Brilliant to have an early 'til late Tesco Express as one's local and where a leisurely 10-minute walk reaches the seafront and beaches.
There is an excellent and diverse selection of restaurants in the town along with and an eclectic mixture of individual shops as well as national chains, together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. The train station at Falmouth Town is a five-minute walk and provides a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington.
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. Falmouth is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK and Grovehill Crescent is a prime place to live within the town!
Agents note The house has sixteen solar panels mounted on the sse-facing roof elevation with a total system size of 5.76 kW. Together, the panels generate 5 800 kWh per annum (equivalent to £1972 at the present capped rate of 34p/kWh)
The renewable energy is passed through an inverter and stored in four batteries located in the roof space that together total 10.4 kWh capacity. The present owners use about half the storage to run both the house and a small electric car, charged through a smart meter known as a Zappi Box located in the driveway.
The remaining energy is exported to the grid for which the supplier pays 15p/kWh (equivalent to £870 for 5 800 kWh). Total yearly savings therefore are somewhere in the range £870 to £1972, approximately £1420 per annum."
The property has ultrafast broadband (download 60 Mb/s upload 20 Mb/s).
