Victoria Quay, The Packet Quays TR11

Tenure: Leasehold

The property

This outstanding apartment was chosen and bought from new in 1987 by our clients as their holiday home in Falmouth. They have absolutely loved it, using carefully for themselves and family and never holiday letting. John Lay and Tim Heather sold the Packet Quays development from new during the late ‘80s and ‘90s and Heather & Lay specialise in the selling of harbour and seafront apartments in Falmouth. We have viewed and sold most of the best that Falmouth has to offer and 3 Victoria Quay has a memorably fantastic position. There are just six apartments within Victoria Quay; number 3 enjoys a favoured, corner first floor position where its fine dual aspect reception room fronts the harbour with three arched windows and South and East facing French doors onto a balcony and the most spectacular and uplifting views. It is unusual to see waterside apartments with three bedrooms, rarer still for each to overlook the water. Here, each has fitted cupboards and the main a superb en suite Villeroy & Boch shower room/WC and walk-in wardrobe. This and the main floor and wall tiled shower room/Wc were refitted in 2022 without expense spared. A few [aces from Victoria Quay is the secure undercover car park where the apartment has two parking spaces side by side. There is also use of two slipways and a delightful waterside garden - all incredibly convenient, just moments from Falmouth High Street and shops.

The location - is fantastic!

So much of what delights about Falmouth is on one’s doorstep at Victoria Quay. You are beside the harbour and the High Street is a few moments walk away with its individual shops and galleries, whilst The Boathouse, Star & Garter, or more up market Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and Greenbank Hotel are one's 'locals'. 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, is about a mile away, with sandy beaches, Henry viii's Pendennis Castle and access to incredible walks and scenery along the Southwest Coastal Path. Falmouth’s Premier Marina is a leisurely 15 minute walk from Packet Quays. 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.
