Description
THE PROPERTY
This is an absolute gem and uniquely is the only double fronted house set along this most sought-after of Victorian terraces, perched above Falmouth town and harbour. Remarkable that each of its three floors of accommodation enjoy fantastic water and coastal views, even more so that all three bedrooms, the sitting room and kitchen/dining room look to the harbour. Number 8 was bought in 1990s by the current artistic owner and her husband, on retiring from his architectural practice. The house has been much loved and enjoyed ever since but advancing years necessitate a move away to be nearer family. The property was stylishly restored and modernised at the time and although well cared for, has scope for modernisation and indeed potential, we believe, to enhance and maximise outside and balcony space, much as several immediate neighbours have done (subject to necessary planning consents). At present, the sitting room and a bedroom lead on to a 27’ long balcony from where there are spectacularly good , near 180° views. The ground floor is home to a sociable kitchen/dining room with pantry, a wonderfully preserved old Cornish Range and access to a very useable harbour facing courtyard garden. This is such a rarity, offered for sale with no onward chain and unhesitatingly is recommended!
THE LOCATION
Vernon Place is one of our very favourite terraces and addresses, set up above the town and harbourside with the most exciting unobstructed water and coastal views. It is remarkably convenient too, set just a few moments' walk to shops in Church Street and with so much of what delights about Falmouth on its doorstep.
