Detached bungalow for sale in Erisey Terrace, Falmouth TR11

Occupying a truly fabulous and substantial plot, ‘perched’ above Falmouth’s bustling town centre and boasting exceptional, panoramic, far-reaching and ever-changing views over Falmouth’s inner and outer harbour, to Flushing, the Carrick Roads and The Roseland peninsula. Arranged over ground floor level and a deceptively large lower ground floor, the property comprises 3 double bedrooms and offers tasteful, characterful accommodation, with many original 1930’s features retained and nurtured. Over recent years the property has been subject to notable investment, to include full rewiring, replumbing and new double glazed windows. A truly rare opportunity to acquire one of the largest and most prominent plots along one of Falmouth’s prime harbour-facing terraces, with huge scope to add value and create a landmark home (subject to all necessary consents). A viewing is unhesitatingly recommended to fully appreciate this idyllic property, which sits elegantly and discreetly over this thriving town centre.

The Location

Erisey Terrace is one of Falmouth’s most highly sought after harbour-facing terraces, by virtue of its stunning views, together with the convenience of town centre amenities which are quite literally 'on the doorstep'. Shops, offices, banks, pubs and restaurants are all within easy walking distance, together with leisure amenities including the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, multi-screen cinema and Prince of Wales Pier with regular passenger ferry services to Flushing and St Mawes.

Other notable attractions within this thriving town include the National Maritime Museum, beautiful headland walk around Pendennis Point, sub-tropical gardens and sandy beaches, with regular bus and rail services providing direct and easy access to the cathedral city of Truro, just twelve miles distant.

The Property

In its elevated position perched 'above' the town, ‘The Peak’ is perfectly located to enjoy the stunning and ever-changing outlook across the inner harbour to the port area, Trefusis Headland, deep waters of the Fal Estuary and shoreline of The Roseland peninsula beyond. Most deceptive from the roadside, the property's accommodation is both well proportioned and versatile with the rooms comprising in brief: Ground floor entrance porch, entrance hall, three double bedrooms (one en-suite), double aspect living room, family bathroom and utility room. The deceptively large lower ground floor benefits from heating and comprises two basement rooms. Throughout, the property boasts airy and light accommodation, high ceilings, and is filled with much charm and character.

Externally, the property offers the rarity of a 'one of a kind' garden, in our opinion, due to its size and vantage point, taking in a panorama of Falmouth's ever changing marine activity.
