2 THE PROPERTY To be sold for the first time in over 30 years, a versatile and substantial Georgian house, absorbing stunning harbour views from all front-facing rooms with the possibility of a self-contained flat/annexe occupying the ground floor, or if incorporated into the main accommodation provides four storey, five bedroom, three bath/shower roomed accommodation with a variety of living rooms, also featuring a south-facing garden with patio and upper area beyond. Indeed, the views from the property are simply outstanding; directly overlooking the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, destination for many ocean-going sailors and the start/finish line for much classic racing, the panoramic unobstructed 180 vista extends from the Greenbank Hotel, Little Falmouth and the picturesque village of Flushing, and across the constant marine activity within Falmouth's inner harbour, to Trefusis Point, the port area, deep sailing waters of the Carrick Roads and unspoilt shoreline of The Roseland peninsula beyond. A traditional covered entrance with columned support provides a sheltered entrance to the property, opening into an entrance hall with panelled hardwood doors to the main hallway or (possibly) separate access to the ground floor rooms, prefect for a self-contained flat/annexe which would comprise of double reception rooms, enjoying the view, a rear hall (potentially a kitchen area) and a ground floor bedroom with adjacent bathroom. Much of the ground floor leads directly onto a 'central' courtyard, partly covered and also accessed from the primary hallway accessing the main accommodation. On the first floor, a split landing leads to a shower room triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room to the rear (and ultimately leading directly onto the rear garden) and to the front of the house a broad lounge with double sash windows, which like the rest of the house, feature Georgian style-small panes which from all floors enjoy a mesmerising outlook over the majority of the Falmouth harbour, parts of the Carrick Roads. A separate well-proportioned dining room (or additional bedroom) on this level overlooks the courtyard below and a rising turned staircase features a traditional small pane sash window to the rear elevation also.
