4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Mongleath Road, Falmouth TR11

The property

“Unexpectedly back on the market”

We like these semi-detached houses for their design and were built from the 1960's, favouring comfortable proportions and decent space around. This property has been extended favourably over the years creating a wonderful space to enjoy with comfortable living as a family and includes extensions above the garage and at the rear of the property. The accommodation to the ground floor comprises an entrance porch, a dining room which was previously the kitchen and dining room to the property and now is the central connection to the separate sitting room and an opening into the kitchen extension creating an ideal social space for family and entertaining. The kitchen is modern and bright with a large skylight above and patio double glazed doors leading out to the rear garden. From the dining room there is a door accessing an integral oversized garage with a utility area and doors accessing either the driveway or the rear garden. To the first floor are four generously sized bedrooms including the master bedroom totalling over 17 feet in length with a shower en-suite and sliding double glazed doors out to a large balcony with a stunning tree-lined view over rooftops looking towards Pendennis Castle and a sea view of Falmouth Bay. The balcony is an ideal space for outside dining for your morning breakfast or an evening drink looking out to sea. Outside is a spacious front garden set back from the road with high hedging for privacy and a driveway providing parking in tandem. At the rear is a rather surprising and impressive mature garden totalling over 70 feet in length with plenty of space for seating, vegetable patch, greenhouse and a fire pit. The property offers plenty of storage space, double glazing and gas central heating via a combination boiler fuelling the hot water and radiators. Overall this is a favoured four bedroom home with plenty of natural light, spacious modern living and the convenient location nearby schools, amenities, Swanpool beach and town. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this property.
