House For Sale £425,000
This WELL PRESENTED three bedroom EDWARDIAN DETACHED HOME built with a COLONIAL STYLE FACADE and covered veranda is set within Dracaena Avenue which is the main arterial road leading into and out of Falmouth town.
The house is considered an ideal family home and in recent years has been refurbished by our client and that blends well with some of the original retained character features on show and the distinctive front elevations. The property is packed with features including gas fired central heating by radiators, a focal point period fireplace in the lounge, original varnished red pine wood flooring, a well fitted and extended galley style kitchen with appliances and a luxuriously appointed bathroom/wc combined.
The well planned accommodation includes in sequence a reception hall, lounge, dining room, study, galley style kitchen, ground floor cloakroom and a side porch leading to the garden. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a re-modelled and well appointed family bathroom in white. A large attic provides an opportunity to extend upwards providing more bedrooms and potentially another bathroom, all subject to the normal planning permission and building regulations. We understand that one of the neighbours has already taken that route.
The house is conveniently situated within walking distance of local amenities at the Dracaena Garage Filling Station just past the traffic lights and in the other direction, a Spar Shop at Albany Road will cater for your last minute and everyday needs. The harbourside town of Falmouth is now one of the most popular destinations to reside in the country, well feted by some of the quality national papers and opinion polls. To those of us fortunate enough to already live and work in the town we enjoy its wide range of commercial and leisure facilities including a thriving high street with some high street multiples and a great selection of independent shops, restaurants, bars and cafes which make this such a cosmopolitan centre. At the far end of town you will find the Events Square which has an outdoor entertainment venue for many of our festivals throughout the year, The National Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle, beaches and the famous sea front are all within easy reach. There is a branch line station which connects to the city of Truro and its main line GWR service down to Penzance and to all destinations East and North.
