Full Description

Built in the 1840s and once a convent and school, St Joseph’s is full of character and history. Behind its handsome façade you’ll find a spacious and welcoming home where period charm blends with modern comfort.

The heart of the property is its impressive reception hall and sweeping staircase, with carved wood balustrades and light streaming in from tall windows. Living spaces include two large connecting reception rooms – the sitting room with French doors to the garden and a cosy wood-burning stove, and a dining room ideal for entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with granite work surfaces and a breakfast bar - plenty of space for family meals. There is a downstairs bathroom with monsoon shower, which includes space for a washing machine and separate tumble dryer. There is also a garden hall and entrance hall with built in storage.

The main house has much to admire with gas fired central heating by radiators, UPVC double glazed windows and doors in keeping with the facades, a focal point wood burning stove in the lounge, a superb fitted kitchen/breakfast room with polished granite work surfaces and a well appointed family bathroom/wc on the first floor.

The accommodation in sequence includes on the ground floor, an entrance porch, grand reception hall and galleried landing, a lounge overlooking the front aspect that opens via French doors to a separate dining room providing open plan living if required, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, a recently installed ground floor shower room/wc. Upstairs are five bedrooms, and a large family bathroom with both freestanding bath and separate shower. The main bedroom has fantastic river views. A generous attic offers potential for further accommodation (subject to permissions).


The detached self-contained annexe is an added bonus providing the opportunity for an additional income with long term or holiday letting, as an annexe for a dependent relative or independent teenager and even perhaps someone that runs a consulting business from home.

The house is approached from two directions, firstly through a gate at Kimberley Place with a wide right of way alongside the Quaker House which in turn leads through a gateway into the delightful gardens at the front of the house. You can also enter the house from Hawkins Way which is just off Killigrew Street.

The house enjoys a convenient location with access to local amenities, Penmere Station, Falmouth School and a stroll into Falmouth's town centre and to Swanpool and Gyllyngvase Beaches, various college campuses centred around the Woodlane area.

Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate this unique combination of history, character and versatility in one of Falmouth’s most desirable locations.
Why not call for further details and book a personal viewing.
