Key Features

Summary

Kimberley's are delighted to present this SUPERB, TWO BEDROOM DETACHED BUNGALOW which is set in a sought after location within the popular village of Mabe Burnthouse, near Penryn.

Full Description

It is good to welcome back our clients who purchased this cottage from us some 18 years ago as a project and during this time they have created a truly original character home with much imagination and style and as the writer who originally sold them the property, it is a real treat to return and see this amazing transformation.

The property is packed with features including gas fired heating by radiators, oak framed sealed unit double glazed windows and doors, a wealth of natural woodwork flooring, staircases and internal doors, and a large balcony on the first floor with water views and venetian blinds in some rooms.

The quirky three storey accommodation starts with a kitchen and dining room plus a shower room at entry level, the staircase from the kitchen leads down to a fabulous double bedroom with wood burning stove, (not checked) stained glasswork and an en-suite bathroom. A turning staircase from the dining area takes you to an amazing sitting room on the first floor with pitched roof and exposed timbers and doors leading to a balcony which is a great place to enjoy views to Falmouth harbour, the docs and Penryn River whilst having your morning coffee or afternoon tea.

Falmouth town centre is where you will find an eclectic blend of independent and high street retail outlets, plus a great selection of restaurants from around the world, public houses, bars, the poly theatre and a phoenix multi screen cinema. The National Maritime museum and Falmouth's sea front provide a nice level walk with views to Pendennis Castle, across the peninsular towards the west.
