Turnaware Road, Falmouth, TR11

THE PROPERTY

This appealing house has been a much loved home for 30 years, with its current owners advancing years now requiring a move and ‘one level’ living. Gray Conoley built homes at Boslowick are perennially popular and we very much like the position of this one with its good garden size and elevated spot overlooking Boslowick valley to the rear. All is well cared for within but requiring some general modernisation to include a replacement kitchen and bathroom, we suggest. There are three bedrooms and the standard sitting/dining room with the benefit of a flexible room accessed from the kitchen and set behind the garage, which with a little TLC could be a fourth bedroom or office perhaps. The garden is established, back and front where thoughtful planting ensures privacy. The driveway leads to a garage with remotely controlled door. A ‘Worcester’ gas boiler fuels radiator central heating and hot water supply and UPVC double glazed windows were installed in 2015.

THE LOCATION

Turnaware Road is a popular no through road, tucked off Carrick Road and Boslowick Road, on the outskirts of Falmouth. Number 17 sits in a generous, established plot and garden with pleasing elevated views overlooking Boslowick valley to the rear. The location is convenient for local shops at Boslowick, including an excellent ‘early ‘til late’ Co-op, great as ones’ cornershop. Primary schools at Mongleath are nearby as is Falmouth’s community secondary school & college on Trescobeas Road. The property was built in the late 1960s by Gray Conoley at a a time of less intensive development than is the norm today, resulting in relatively lower density housing with decent garden size and spacing, often lacking in the town’s more recent schemes. a regular bus service runs close by and the local Penmere railway station provides a link with penryn and Truro to mainline Paddington. Turnaware Road leads to some lovely walks nearby taking you toward Swanpool Nature Reserve and beach. Falmouth town, harbourside and seafront are all within about a mile from Number 17,
