Falmouth

On this popular terrace of houses dating, we imagine, from the turn of the last Century, a charming 3 storey house, currently arranged to provide 2/3 bedroom accommodation to the first and second floors, together with self-contained 2 bedroom accommodation on the ground floor, therefore providing an ideal opportunity for those seeking to accommodate a dependent relative, home with income, or conversion back to a large family home. Just yards from the top of Falmouth's High Street and Greenbank, beautiful views are enjoyed over the town, harbour and Fal Estuary to Flushing and the shoreline of The Roseland peninsula. Attractively landscaped, terraced and sunny rear gardens ascend to a private parking area for 2 vehicles, on which a garage has previously existed.

The Property - The property currently provides two self-contained, independently rated and separately serviced dwellings, including a two bedroom ground floor flat, accessed from the front elevation, and a superb two storey maisonette on the first and second floors, which can be accessed by both the front entrance door, as well as independently from the rear.

The ground floor currently utilises the courtyard as its own outside space, with upstairs enjoying the deep, well stocked and attractively landscaped gardens, which enjoy a sunny south westerly aspect, and at the foot of which there is private off-road parking for two vehicles. We understand there was a garage previously and some prospective purchasers may wish to note other properties in the area have obtained consent for the construction of substantial garages, frequently with studio areas etc (subject to all necessary consents).

The Location - Claremont Terrace is situated in an elevated position 'above' Greenbank with Dunstanville Terrace, the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and Greenbank Hotel just a few minutes walk away. Similarly, Falmouth's Old High Street leads into the town centre, meaning all of Falmouth's excellent shopping, commercial and leisure amenities are within close proximity. An ideal location therefore for those seeking stylish town house living, but with the advantages of sunny gardens and off-road parking. Viewing unhesitatingly recommended.
