2 bed property for sale

6 Grove Place, Falmouth TR11

The property

Nestled within the town behind an elegant Grade II listed double fronted Regency former town house, which had been skillfully converted into apartments during 2005/2006. This cottage can be accessed through the main building from Arwenack Street or the desirable area of Arwenack Avenue behind with the current owners stylishly renovating and extending the property since ownership. At its heart is a striking open-plan sunroom, living and dining space with a vaulted glass ceiling, bathing the room in natural light and opening directly onto the gardens through double wooden doors, an exceptional space for relaxing and entertaining. The adjoining bespoke kitchen is well appointed with fitted units and storage, while the ground floor also offers a comfortable double bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs, a bright landing with a large Velux skylight provides a flexible study area and leads to a spacious second bedroom with triple-aspect windows. The property benefits from modern double glazing, electric heating and a long 999-year lease with a share of the freehold. This would be an ideal first purchase or someone seeking a bespoke accommodation situated in the heart of Falmouth. It is difficult to picture a more convenient and involving location to live in Falmouth, wholeheartedly recommended!
