Pennance Road, Falmouth, TR11

THE PROPERTY

Chances like this are few and far between. We know this because, for the last 35 years, Heather & Lay have consistently sold the share of quality homes in the most sought after of residential spots, in and around Falmouth’s seafront. It is a delight to be selling a home that very few will know of, we certainly didn’t; discreetly accessed off Pennance Road along a private drive serving two other homes and culminating here, at Trewint, 22 Pennance Road. The property lies between Falmouth Cemetary and the railway line embankment, set in a generous, landscaped and established garden, about 300 ft long and 0.23 acres in size. Likely built in the 1970s, this individual detached bungalow has 3 / 4 bedrooms and plenty of living space, with large windows flooding light and some lovely open views across the valley. Trewint is perfectly comfortable and livable as is, but equally would be a great project to tweak, reconfigure or redevelop perhaps, according to prospective buyers’ requirements, vision and budget. There is a wonderful peace, quiet, and calmness within the interconnecting lawned gardens, where one is private and sheltered, and surrounded by some lovely specimen shrubs and small trees. From the private lane, gates lead onto a 100ft long private driveway leading to a single garage and the parking/turning area for several cars. We are excited by the opportunity to market and sell Trewint which for the last 25 years has been a much-loved home for its current owners.

THE LOCATION

Trewint occupies a very special situation indeed. Pennance Road is one of Falmouth's prime addresses, although few will know of this property, discretely accessed and approached, along a private lane serving two other homes, culminating at Trewint, which is invisible from the road. Trewints’ lovely landscaped garden is 0.23 acres in all and 300ft long, flanked by Falmouth's beautiful, park-like cemetery on one side and the railway line and embankment, on the other. This road is one of the most sought-after residential positions available in Falmouth. Its location is superb, situated on the town's southern side, a short distance from the seafront, Swanpool and Gyllyngvasebeaches and the Coastal Footpath. Pennance Road is about a mile from the town and harbour where there is 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. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town andPenmere 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 FalmouthUniversity (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and FalmouthMarine 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. Falmouth is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
