Description
THE PROPERTY
The Hidden House is a Grade II listed treat, unlike anything one likely finds in Falmouth. Accommodation is flexible, set over 3 floors with 5 double bedrooms and a 27’ sitting/dining room and 20’ sunroom. Turning stairs from the landing rise up into the centre of a wonderful 28’ long beamed and apex ceiling, light filled attic room. The house is historic, believed to date from the early 1800s with a fantastic feel and many of its original characteristics intact. The sunroom leads via French doors onto the terrace and garden which is walled, south facing and measures a healthy 50’ x about 35’ with much granite evident, a twisted willow, apple trees and a bay. Steps lead up from the garden onto New Street where The Hidden House owns two adjacent ‘gold dust’ parking spaces.
THE LOCATION
Tucked off New Street in a walled garden setting this is indeed ‘The Hidden House’ yet, paradoxically, Falmouth’s bustling cobbled Church Street and town lies behind. New Street is a no through road in the heart of Falmouth where shops and the harbourside are just a few paces away. So much of what delights about Falmouth is on one’s doorstep here. The town has a brilliant and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of shops, which include national chains, together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Falmouth's seafront, on the town's southern side, with sandy beaches, Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle and access to incredible walks and scenery along the South West Coastal Path. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth Docks are a major contributor to the town's economy and along with Falmouth University (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and Falmouth Marine School, specialising in traditional and modern boat building, marine engineering and environmental science, ensure an all year round and vibrant community. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro. Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country; little wonder the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
