Semi-detached house for sale in Trevethan Road, Falmouth TR11

An extremely extensive 4-storey house, to be sold for the first time in the open market for over 30 years, providing substantially extended and extremely versatile 5 bedroom main accommodation, together with immense lower ground floor areas, including a 2 bedroom 'garden flat', ideal for a dependent relative or source of letting income etc. Outstanding views are enjoyed from all main rear-facing rooms - amongst the best in Falmouth due to the property's elevation and panoramic outlook over the harbour, estuary and coastline. Rear gardens, garage and ample private off-road parking.

The Property

Since our clients purchased the property from their relatives in 2007,22 Trevethan Road has been the subject of extensive extension and remodelling works as outlined in the Planning Permission granted 15 February 2008, application reference: PA02/2131/07/R. Prospective purchasers should, however, note from the outset that certain aspects of this work are incomplete, meaning the necessary Building Regulations documentation is absent, which will be covered by the provision of an Indemnity Insurance, which is increasingly commonplace in these situations.

The house benefits from full gas fired central heating and is an eclectic mix of style to provide a home of immense intrigue, character and versatility. On the ground floor, there is a formal lounge, central kitchen, and enormous family room with sitting and dining areas, bar and doors onto a broad rear balcony with hot tub and beautiful views. The first floor provides four bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and, on the top floor, there is a quite surreal master bedroom suite with private bathroom, door to a roof terrace and views which extend of the town to Greenbank, Flushing, Trefusis Point, the working port area, Pendennis Castle, deep waters of the Carrick Roads, shoreline of The Roseland peninsula, and out to sea. One of Falmouth's finest views.

On the lower ground floor, a 'garden flat' provides two bedroom accommodation, ideal for a dependent relative or as a source of letting income etc, and further basement rooms have been part converted to, currently, provide spacious dry storage etc. A gravelled forecourt requires permission of a drop-kerb for parking although, to the rear, Number 22 has a large private parking area sufficient for three/four vehicles, ideal for those with a boat or caravan etc, in addition to which there is also a block-built garage. Steps lead from this parking area through well enclosed rear gardens to the accommodation, with a side pathway easily re-opened to provide access to the front of the house if required.
