Arwenack House, Grove Place, Falmouth, TR11

A very rare opportunity to own your own piece of Falmouth's history. This stunning ground floor garden apartment is set within Arwenack House on Grove Place, Falmouth, a Grade II listed historical home that provides the rarity of almost level access to the town centre. This garden apartment is located on the ground floor, it is in our opinion a truly prime location that enjoys triple aspects to the front, side and rear,  this allowing an owner to follow the sun during the day whilst also affording the apartment light and airy accommodation throughout. The living room and the kitchen dining room both enjoy the morning sunshine, whilst the two bedrooms and the private rear terrace enjoy the later afternoon and evening sunshine. The two bedrooms and private broad slate sun terrace also enjoy stunning established Westerly facing communal gardens. Internally the apartment has been comprehensively improved by our owner client, it now provides a very comfortable standard of modern living within one of Falmouth's most Historic buildings.
