1 23 Penwerris Lane, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11 2PD 595,000 Freehold A stunning example of a Falmouth Victorian townhouse excitingly available for the first time in over thirty years. Spacious four bedroom, three reception room accommodation, panoramic harbour views, south-west facing rear garden and complete with double garage and off street parking. Town centre family living does not come much better and a viewing to appreciate comes highly recommended.

2 REF NO Four bedroom, three reception room, two bathroom accommodation Panoramic and far reaching harbour views Double garage and off street parking for up to five vehicles South west facing rear garden Victorian period features throughout Sought after town centre location Building plot with granted planning permission for two bedroom dwelling EPC - F THE LOCATION Penwerris Terrace and Lane are one of Falmouth's most sought after and valuable residential roads. It is set up high with phenomenal harbour and coastal views, yet within a few minutes' walk from the town and waterfront. The original Penwerris Terrace contains some of Falmouth's earliest and finest Regency houses, several of which were built for Packet Ship captains; the position no doubt chosen for its commanding marine outlook and convenience to the shore. So much of what delights about Falmouth is on one's doorstep at this location. The waterside is a few moments away as is the High Street 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, such as Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's, 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 South West Coastal Path. 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. THE PROPERTY Set in the middle of a terrace of three Victorian townhouses, this is a fine example of a period home which was lovingly restored by the current owners and enjoyed for the past thirty years as a family home. Now being reluctantly sold, and in need of some modernisation, it is undeniable that this is an exciting opportunity for a buyer with a discerning eye. The prominent frontage with wrought iron railings and imposing wooden door opens out into the spacious accommodation comprising of two living rooms, large kitchen/diner, two bathrooms and four bedrooms including a brilliant 'loft room' with lookout enjoying panoramic harbour views across Falmouth and beyond. To the rear is a private courtyard space which opens out further to a very long south west facing garden enclosed by pretty, random stone walling. From the garden there is access to the double garage and off street parking which could accommodate up to five vehicles if needed, certainly worth having in this town centre location! Period features are prominent throughout with beautiful original shutters, sash windows, fireplaces, gallery landing and a lovely turning staircase linking it all together. There is also further scope here in that the owners have granted planning permission to build a detached two storey dwelling at the end of the garden which could be a perfect annexe or holiday let accommodation; this would sacrifice the double garage but still leave the original house with two parking spaces. There is plenty to see here and a viewing to appreciate the scope, character and charm comes wholeheartedly recommended.
