An imposing early 1900s detached residence in one of Falmouth’s most sought-after locations, this immaculate house combines period grandeur with modern comforts. With eight en-suite bedrooms, six reception rooms and about 4,007 sqft of accommodation, the property suits extended families, multi-generational living or a high-yield holiday-let/investment opportunity. South-facing rooms and elevated aspects take in views across Falmouth Bay; the seafront, Gyllyngvase beach and the harbourside are a short 5–15 minute walk.
The house sits on a large, gloriously landscaped plot with substantial off-street parking and driveway space — rare for this near-seafront belt. Interiors are light-filled thanks to numerous large windows and a conservatory-style extension, providing flexible reception and entertaining areas across multiple floors. The freehold tenure and very low local crime rate add practical appeal.
Set in a prosperous and well-served part of town, the location offers excellent transport links (local stations to Truro and beyond), strong local amenities, nearby schools and year-round maritime activity. Note the local secondary school (Falmouth School) is currently rated 'Requires improvement' which may influence some buyers. Flood risk is recorded as none.
This is a substantial, characterful home presented to a high standard; buyers should consider the running costs and ongoing maintenance typical of a large period property. For investors, the property’s size, en-suite layout and near-seafront position present clear rental or guest-house potential, subject to planning and use permissions where applicable.
