1 bed flat for sale

Emslie Road, Falmouth TR11

A superbly maintained and deceptively large 1 double bedroom second floor apartment, located within a purpose built development, specifically for those aged 55 and over. Moments from one of Falmouth's renowned sea-fronting roads, Carnes Court boasts facilities including an in-house manager, residents lounge and residents parking.

The Property

McCarthy & Stone are well known providers of retirement accommodation throughout the country and have built three developments in Falmouth. Carnes Court is perhaps the most favoured due to its small and select nature, prime south-facing seafront position, with communal gardens which open directly onto Cliff Road, a level walk along which leads to Castle Beach in one direction, and Gyllyngvase Beach in the other.

Occupancy is restricted to a single resident being over sixty years of age, or for a couple, one most be sixty and the other over fifty five. A house manager is regularly on site, providing help and assistance to the residents, who have a convivial communal lounge with tea and coffee making facilities etc. There is also a guest's suite which is available on application from the manager for visiting friends and relatives; parking is available to the rear of the building off Emslie Road, and the well maintained communal front gardens provide sunny sitting-out areas. A service charge of £1,615.66 per six months, together with a ground rent of £354.92 for six months covers all aspects of maintenance and buildings insurance, with each resident only being responsible for their own heating bills and the internal redecoration and carpeting of their own apartment.
