Location:

Falmouth, Cornwall

Description:

For sale with the benefit of immediate vacant possession, a well proportioned 3-bedroomed apartment on the first floor of this particularly well positioned seafront development, enjoying breathtaking, unobstructed, south-facing views directly out to sea and across the entire breadth of Falmouth Bay from Pendennis Point and Castle, to the shoreline of The Lizard peninsula, mouth of the Helford River and Manacles beyond.

THE LOCATION
With no property between Boscawen and the sea, prospective purchasers can be assured of their acquisition of one of very few opportunities to purchase a three-bedroomed apartment, with a garage, directly on the seafront, in this price range. Castle and Gyllyngvase Beaches are but a few moment's walk away and the regular bus service from Cliff Road leads directly into Falmouth's town centre, an approximate ten/fifteen minute walk away.

Nearby railway stations provide easy access to the cathedral city of Truro, approximately twelve miles distant, the county's retailing, commercial and administrative centre, and from where there is a main-line rail link to London (Paddington).

With Falmouth's sub tropical gardens, National Maritime Museum, English Heritage sites, excellent range of restaurants, harbourside bars, sports clubs and galleries all within easy reach, 5 Boscawen provides a superb opportunity to purchase a home perfect for permanent and second home purchasers alike. Consequently, an early viewing appointment is unhesitatingly recommended.
THE PROPERTY
Boscawen occupies one of the finest positions on Falmouth's seafront, looking directly out to sea, with the main rooms enjoying a breathtaking and completely unobstructed outlook over the constant marine activity within Falmouth Bay, a place of shelter for ships during stormy weather and 'playground' for leisure craft of all shapes and sizes.

Number 5 Boscawen is a well proportioned three-bedroomed apartment in this highly popular development, fronting Cliff Road, Falmouth's seafront, with Emslie Road to the rear providing vehicular access into a 'courtyard' of garages, one of which is included in the sale of apartment number 5.

Benefiting from direct first floor access at the rear, the apartment benefits from a private entrance porch which opens into a deep hallway, off which there is a useful cloakroom and separate WC. Unusually in this price range on the seafront, the apartment has three bedrooms, including a sea-facing master bedroom which has potential for the creation of an en-suite facility if required (subject to consents). The existing bathroom/WC has a three-piece suite as well as a high quality hardwood ceiling, a feature throughout the property. The living room, over 29' in depth, features a full breadth patio window, onto a private, part glass-fronted, sea-facing balcony, and the kitchen area, now in need of replacement, can either be open-plan to the living space or sub-divided if preferred.

A management committee ensures the continued maintenance of the building and grounds which, to the front, include broad lawned terraces with shrub borders and resident's pathway with steps onto the seafront and beyond, to Castle and Gyllyngvase Beaches, and the lovely clifftop walks around Pendennis Point, and to Swanpool and Maenporth beyond.
