Property description
The location
Queen Mary Court is set back from Queen Mary Road and the picturesque coastal footpath, which leads onto Gyllyngvase Beach, as well as to nearby Swanpool, Maenporth and, beyond, to Rosemullion Head and the mouth of the Helford River - one of the most picturesque walks anywhere in the west country.
Highly regarded Gyllyngvase Beach Cafe provides bar and restaurant facilities, with numerous seafront hotels offering further dining and leisure facilities.
A nearby regular bus service leads into Falmouth's town centre, an approximate twenty minute walk, where can be found an excellent range of shopping and commercial facilities, including branch line rail link to the cathedral city of Truro, approximately twelve miles distant.
Exceptional water sports facilities are centred around Falmouth Harbour with the day-sailing waters of the Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay widely recognised as perhaps the finest in the country. There are golf courses nearby at Falmouth, Killiow, Truro and Budock Vean and Newquay Airport, an approximate forty minute drive away, provides regular domestic flights to a number of UK airports.
The property
Constructed circa 1986 and for sale for the first time since being purchased from new by the present owner, Number 7 Queen Mary Court provides a unique and incredibly rare opportunity to purchase a property in one of Falmouth's finest sea-facing positions, with a fabulous ever-changing outlook over Queen Mary Court's own extensive lawned gardens to nearby Gyllyngvase Beach, along Falmouth seafront to Pendennis Point and King Henry VII's Castle, as well as out to sea, to St Anthony's Headland in the east and The Manacles, at the foot of The Lizard peninsula, to the south west.
Benefiting from the residue of a 999 year lease, the purchaser will also acquire a 1/9 share of this incredibly valuable freehold, one of the most extensive residential sites anywhere along the entire south Cornish coast.
Located at the foot of Queen Mary Road, adjacent to one of Falmouth's many sub tropical gardens, Queen Mary Court stands on the edge of Gyllyngvase Beach, a few minutes walk along the coast path from Swanpool, within private grounds which are well tended and include extensive lawned areas, garaging, additional residents' parking, allocated visitors parking and (private) gardens which, in respect of Number 7, lie to the front of the house and therefore enjoy a sunny aspect.
From the garaging and parking area to the rear, a short pathway leads to the entrance to Number 7, passed a private patio area, with accommodation on the ground floor which comprises an entrance hall, shower room/WC, open-plan living room, kitchen and staircase to the first floor with two bedrooms and bathroom/WC.
Gas fired central heating is complemented by hardwood framed double glazing and high quality replacement uPVC double glazing to the living room with all rooms enjoying the stunning beach and coastline views.
Well managed by the residents committee, Queen Mary Court undoubtedly provides a wonderful opportunity for both permanent and second home purchasers alike and we, the vendor's Sole Agents, strongly recommend all interested prospective purchasers arrange an early viewing appointment to fully appreciate the superb position of this prime coastline residence.
