Summary - HIGHCLIFFE HOTEL, 22, MELVILL ROAD TR11 4AR
10 bed 9 bath Semi-Detached
Substantial period property with separate two‑bed apartment and harbour views.
Over 4,000 sq ft across four floors, versatile layout
Set just moments from Falmouth’s seafront, this impressive Victorian semi-detached house offers over 4,000 sq ft of flexible living across four floors. Formerly a guest house and now with full residential consent, the property includes eight former guest bedrooms plus a generous two‑bedroom self-contained apartment on the lower ground floor — useful for rental income, multigenerational living or an annex.
Many principal rooms enjoy harbour views, high ceilings and large sash windows that retain period character while recent updates have delivered a contemporary kitchen, double glazing and an EPC B rating. Off‑street parking for about five cars and a large mainly lawned rear garden add practical outdoor space in this central, walkable location close to the station, shops and beaches.
Practical considerations: the house is a substantial period building (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls where additional insulation may be needed to maximise energy efficiency. Crime levels in the area are reported above average, and a property of this size and layout will require ongoing maintenance and running costs. That said, the size, configuration and location create clear potential for continuing owner-occupation, holiday rental or long-term investment.
For buyers seeking a character-filled, seaside property with flexible accommodation and proven functional performance (EPC B, mains gas central heating), this home presents a rare central Falmouth opportunity. The combination of harbour views, separate apartment and substantial reception space suits investors looking for multiple income streams or families wanting generous, adaptable accommodation.
