Within just 350 yards of Gyllyngvase Beach and Falmouth's picturesque seafront, an imposing, charming 7 double bedroom residence of mock Tudor design, previously utilised as a guest house, yet now a stunning family home which has undergone a significant programme of internal development during our clients' ownership. The property benefits from a large, gently sloped, mostly lawned, rear garden. To the bottom, a workshop with planning permission for development of 2 apartments (PA24/01482).
The Location - Avenue Road is a highly desirable location by virtue of its proximity to both Falmouth seafront and town centre. Fox Rose Hill Gardens, Falmouth town railway station, Gyllyngvase Beach, Gylly Beach Cafe, Queen Mary Gardens and all of the many retail amenities are all within easy walking distance of the property. Picturesque walks along the seafront to Castle Beach and Pendennis Point in one direction and Swanpool Beach and the South West Coast Path in the other are once again within easy walking distance.
The town centre amenities include Events Square, the National Maritime Museum, Falmouth Water Sports Centre and many pubs, restaurants, delis and shopping facilities are close at hand, whilst there is a regular bus and railway service close by. The university campus of Tremough, a satellite campus for Exeter University, is 3 miles distant, with the cathedral city of Truro, the county's retail, commercial, administrative, health and educational centre is just twelve miles away.
