The property

Built in 1996, Bay Court is block of 61 Mccarthy & Stone retirement apartments run by FirstPort who are well known and respected and with a long history of similar developments. Much of the appeal of these apartments is the security and reassurance they offer. Bay Court provides a range of value-added benefits which can really make a difference to everyday life including the presence of a house manager, the reassurance of an emergency call system and pleasant, practical communal areas and facilities including a communal laundry, lift access to all levels and well maintained gardens. There are communal parking facilities and the added benefit of a guest room which can be booked for visiting friends and family. Bay Courts Resident lounge is located on the ground floor and has wonderful panoramic views across Falmouth Bay from Pendennis Point to the Manacles, with balcony and fitted kitchen area. Number 44 is on the second floor, one of the larger flats in the building offering two double bedrooms with a generously proportioned sitting room with a glimpse of the sea.

The location

Bay Court is incredibly well located along Falmouth's seafront in a prominent front row position looking out to sea. The development is set within lovely landscaped gardens, moments from the coastal path and beaches and just a few minutes walk from the excellent ‘early ‘til late’ Co-op, Gyllyngvase beach and cafe. Next door to Bay Court is the Princess Pavilions, host to a variety of acts, comedians and theatre performances, not to mention bands during the summer months in the garden pavilion and a great place for tea, cakes and snacks can be accessed through a gate in the car park. The location is exciting and uplifting and with a bus stop outside, the town and harbourside are within easy reach. The town and its harbourside have an excellent and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of individual shops as well as national chains, together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Falmouth Town Station, only 10 minutes’ walk away, provides a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London Paddington. 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.
