FALMOUTH, Cornwall

Key Features

Summary

A rare opportunity to purchase this fine detached bungalow that is set in a prominent position within walking distance or a short drive to Falmouth's bustling town centre and sea front.

Full Description

Being sold for the first time since the property was built in the 1950's, the property is now being sold with the benefit of 'no onward' chain. The property, although in need of some updating and modernisation, offers potential new buyers the chance to create a home to their own taste and requirements. Situated on a bold corner plot, there is the potential to extend the property to the side, up into the spacious roof space or indeed to convert the large garage into a separate annexe. (subject to the necessary planning permission and consents).

The versatile accommodation in brief comprises; entrance hallway, lounge, dining room/bedroom three, kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms. Outside, there is off road parking facilities that leads to the garage that can accommodate approximately three small vehicles in tandem. The extensive, delightful gardens extend to the front, side and rear and provides areas of landscaped lawn to the front surrounded by mature shrubs and privet hedge and to the side, areas of shingle enclosed by closed board timber fencing. The shingle area has a Mediterranean feel with mature shrubs interspersed and a tall palm tree at the rear. There is also a raised pave patio area adjacent to the side of the property which is accessible from the front, the dining room or kitchen.



The bustling harbourside town of Falmouth has a myriad of shops, cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues including The Maritime Museum, Phoenix multi-screened cinema, The Poly Theatre and the Princess Pavilion that hosts a number of shows throughout the year. For the keen sailor, Falmouth has access to some of the best sailing waters in the world with Falmouth Yacht Marina at Ponsharden and mooring facilities at hand.
