Jagos Slip, The Packet Quays, Falmouth, TR11

VIDEO TOUR:

THE PROPERTY

Heather and Lay specialise in the selling of harbour and seafront apartments in Falmouth, both as new developments and those being resold.  We have viewed and sold most of the best that Falmouth has to offer.  Indeed, we sold the Packet Quays from new in the late 1980’s and 1990s. 2 Jago’s Slip presents a rare blend of attributes, making its availability special and very unusual indeed. It is part of the acclaimed Packet Quays Waterside Development, located between The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and Falmouth’s High Street and shops.  Its convenience and spectacular position makes Packet Quays and Jagos’ slip in particular, much in demand for those requiring a permanent or holiday residence. The development sits on historic quay walls with new build and converted homes from the original stone 18th century waterside buildings, all blending beautifully. Jane Courts’ cobbled courtyard leads up ancient granite steps to Falmouth’s High Street. It is a prime position for the spectacularly sited ground floor waterfront apartment about 1100²ft in size set with a magnificent reception room and two of three bedrooms looking directly to the water with exciting, ever changing maritime views across the harbour. The property has a secured covered parking space a few paces away, use of two slipways and delightful waterside garden – all incredibly convenient just moments from Falmouth High Street.

THE LOCATION

So much of what delights about Falmouth is on one's doorstep at Jago’s Slip. The waterside is a few moments away as is the High Street with its individual shops and galleries, whilst The Boathouse, Star & Garter, or more up market Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and Greenbank Hotel are one's 'locals' and Falmouth's Marina is fifteen minutes' walk away.The town has a brilliant and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of shops, which include national chains together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Falmouth's seafront, on the town's southern side, is about a mile away, with sandy beaches, Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle and access to incredible walks and scenery along the Southwest Coastal Path. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth Docks are a major contributor to the town's economy and along with Falmouth University (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and Falmouth Marine School, specialising in traditional and modern boat building, marine engineering and environmental science, ensure an all year round and vibrant community. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro. Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country; little wonder the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
