LCAA8373 Offers Around £1250000 24 Cliff Road, Falmouth Ref: LCAA8373 Offers around £1,250,000 24 Cliff Road, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11 4DU FREEHOLD Standing less than 200 yards from the golden sands of Gyllyngvase Beach, with some views over Falmouth Bay, an impeccable large 4 bedroomed detached period home, the subject of exacting renovations just a few years ago creating one of Falmouth’s most desirable and prime residences. A stylish home with double garage, plentiful parking and hard landscaped terraces to enjoy the sun throughout the day, mere steps from Queen Mary Gardens and the coast path. 2 Ref: LCAA8373 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance lobby, reception hall, large kitchen/dining room, impressive lounge, large study or further reception room, stair hall, laundry room, shower room. First Floor: part galleried landing, principal bedroom with covered balcony and dressing room/shower room beside. 3 further bedrooms, bathroom. Outside: impressive planted topped granite walled frontage with contemporary wood pedestrian and vehicular gates. Large paved driveway providing plentiful parking and turning space. Double garage with electric doors and fitted units. Patios and terraces surrounding the house with low maintenance beds. DESCRIPTION 24 Cliff Road is a handsome period residence, believed to have originally been a farmhouse dating from circa 1888. The building has evidently been extended over the years and our clients have brought harmony to the look of the house with further extensive work and areas of painted weatherboarding providing a contrast to the original stonework. Extensive renovations were carried out by our clients circa 2013 including replumbing, new electrics, a new roof covering and insulation, painted wood double glazing befitting of the property 3 Ref: LCAA8373 was fitted and this is expansive bringing in a huge amount of natural light. The exterior walls were also insulated either on the outside of more modern sections of the building or internally in the historic parts with the rooms then benefitting from painted wood panelling creating a wonderful atmosphere that combines with the high ceilings and design choices to continue the theme of a period house by the sea. The house is less than 200 yards walk away from Gyllyngvase beach, one of Cornwall’s most desirable south facing beaches opening onto Falmouth Bay and backed by the Gylly Beach Cafè which is a destination in its own right. One can glimpse the sea from the ground floor and from the master bedroom’s balcony one can clearly see the sea between the coastal trees. The house stands within very manageable grounds which have been almost entirely hard landscaped for ease of maintenance making this property perfect for those that wish to lock up and leave for extended sailing trips or holidays. A gated driveway provides plentiful parking and turning space as well as access to the double garage which was also improved by our clients with a glass fibre roof and two electrically operated doors. There are patios to enjoy the sun at different times of the day and it would be relatively simple to use pot plants and planters to provide more greenery if so desired. 4 Ref: LCAA8373 24 Cliff Road is an immaculate ‘turnkey’ home in arguably the most desirable area of Falmouth, providing extensive and beautifully presented accommodation just moments from the beach. LOCATION 24 Cliff Road is in a wondrous location being within simple walking distance of Gyllyngvase beach, the walks over the English Heritage owned Pendennis Headland around Pendennis Castle and also down to the harbourside, Events Square and to the main high street. The high street has a mix of national and local retailers, restaurants, bars and cafés as well as galleries and professional services. Beside the National Maritime Museum is the recently constructed Events Square where markets and events such as Falmouth Week celebrations are held. This area has also become an exclusive hub for shops and restaurants including a Rick Stein fish and chip shop. The immensely popular Gylly Beach Café overlooks Gyllyngvase beach and from here there are walks along the coastline towards Swanpool beach. Pendennis Castle and Ships and Castles Leisure Centre are also within walking distance, as are the branch line railways stations at Falmouth Docks and The Dell, which then link to the main Penzance to Paddington line at Truro. Falmouth is most famously known as a sailing centre and port town and for the keen day sailor or dedicated yachtsman, the south Cornish coast offers numerous yacht and sailing clubs and the sheltered waters of the Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) are some of the safest and finest day sailing waters in the United Kingdom. There are numerous creeks to explore and opposite Falmouth is the upmarket coastal village of St Mawes which can also be reached via a regular passenger ferry from the Prince of Wales Pier. Within easy day sailing 5 Ref: LCAA8373 distance or just a short drive away are the tree lined shores of the Helford River and just a little further afield to the east is the steep sided harbour between Fowey and Polruan.

The numerous small creeks around the river are enclosed by their steep, well-wooded slopes but have wide-spreading views out over the Helford River from vantage points on the valley sides. Much of the woodland is truly ancient and has been indentified as Upland Oakwood with some Upland Mixed Ashwoods.
