Falmouth, TR11

If you are looking for a home that is different and maybe a little quirky then let us impress you with this highly individual, three/four bedroom detached family home which is tucked away in a small private driveway just off Melvill Road which is within walking distance to Falmouth's famous sea front, beaches, coastal walks and the town centre.

This house was built by our clients to their own specification and was a special home for them for many years and is now being sold with the benefit of 'no onward chain'.

The property is somewhat dated and has plenty of potential for cosmetic refreshment and redecoration allowing new owners the chance to create a home to their own particular taste and requirements. The house has features including double glazed windows, doors and porch (where stated, gas central heating by radiators, a fitted kitchen with stone work surfaces and appliances, vaulted and beam ceilings and a part galleried landing.

The reverse-level accommodation on the ground floor includes a large entrance porch, reception hall, three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room and an inner hallway. A turning staircase leads to a vaulted part galleried landing, a spacious lounge with a balcony, study/snug, cloakroom/wc, a comprehensive fitted kitchen with polished stone work surfaces and a dining room alongside. The garage was partly converted many years ago and has doubled up as a fourth bedroom or could also be used as an office and a boiler/cloakroom behind. The house is approached over a brick driveway with parking for one/two vehicles and double opening garage doors lead into a covered car port which has a large attic above and this provides a secure location for you to store maybe a boat, trailer or motorhome. From the car port you enter well stocked and sheltered gardens which are in need of cultivation.


For those of us that live and work around Falmouth, it is no surprise that our vibrant town is regularly voted as one of the best locations in the South West of England and offers a comprehensive range of independent and high street shops, together with a great selection of bars, public houses, restaurants that serves food from around the world. There is a multi-screen cinema, the Poly Theatre and at the far end of town, the Maritime Square and National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle that guards the entrance to the third largest natural harbour in the world and our famous level sea front that gives access to Castle and Gyllyngvase Beaches.

As the vendors sole agents, we highly recommend an early viewing to secure this fine property.
