2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Stratton Terrace, Falmouth, Cornwall TR11

Property
Perfectly positioned to capture the ever-changing beauty of Falmouth Harbour, this exceptional two-bedroom townhouse seamlessly blends historic maritime character with high-end, contemporary architectural design. Stripped back to its beautiful bones and re-imagined with meticulous attention to detail, the property offers a sophisticated, deeply welcoming sanctuary in one of Cornwall’s most coveted coastal locations.

The breathtaking open-plan chef’s kitchen and dining area radiates warmth and rustic luxury. The kitchen space is defined by exposed stone accent walls, beautifully illuminated by concealed, soft top-lighting that highlights the natural texture and history of the masonry.

The kitchen features bespoke craftsmanship with custom, flush-face natural wood cabinetry providing clean lines and abundant storage, perfectly complemented by premium appliances including an American-style stainless steel fridge freezer and an integrated double oven and dishwasher.

The C shaped kitchen forms a magnificent breakfast peninsula topped with a poured concrete worktop with an integrated gas hob. The kitchen has room for a dining table allowing for social evenings with friends and family.
Passing through a dramatic archway, the property flows into an unforgettable principal reception room. It strikes a flawless balance between historic scale and cosy comfort, retaining its classic high ceilings, ornate white plaster cornice, and traditional picture rail.

The undisputed centrepiece of the lounge is a magnificent, full-height sash window flanked by original wood panelling and folding shutters, framing direct, elevated views over the glistening blue waters of Falmouth Harbour. For cooler coastal nights, a handsome, deep-set black traditional fireplace sits complete with a functional wood-burning stove and a slate hearth. There is a small cloak room off the kitchen.

Downstairs is a basement sitting room with an exposed beam and concrete floor. This is an ideal cinema room or an artist’s space.

Upstairs the main bedroom is a spacious, light-filled sanctuary defined by clean lines, warm timber flooring, and exceptional views. A large multi-paned sash window, complete with its original folding timber shutters, serves as a picture frame for the breathtaking panoramic vistas of the harbour and the rolling green fields beyond.

The main bedroom boasts high ceilings with a classic picture rail and features a beautiful focal point: A minimalist, vertically tiled fireplace recess houses a modern wood-burning stove, ensuring cosy winter nights. The second double bedroom to the rear of the house offers similar high ceilings and character features.

Between the two rooms and designed to replicate a high-end luxury spa, the bathroom features texture, colour, and drama. Taking pride of place beneath a multi-pane window with timber privacy shutters is a striking, freestanding copper tub with a floor-standing mixer tap. A vast walk-in shower is lined with gloss-finished emerald green Zellige tiles, beautifully illuminated by recessed LED strip lighting and enclosed by a seamless glass screen. The vibrant tiling is mirrored in a splash-back behind the stone washbasin.

Outside, to the front of the property there is an expertly landscaped tiered garden offering super water views. A generous, timber decking area sits framed by a mature structural tree, providing a magical setting for outdoor entertaining. There is ample room for a substantial dining table, allowing you to dine under the canopy while gazing directly across the boat-dotted waters of the harbour.

The Outdoor Kitchen & Cabana is a true luxury. Fully sheltered beneath a corrugated roof, this rustic space houses a custom-built open fireplace with grill, complete with a stone prep counter. To the rear of the cabin, a lockable storage shed provides practical space for garden tools.
