Challenger Quay, Falmouth, TR11

THE PROPERTY

Challenger Quay is one of Falmouth’s most exclusive harbour and marina side developments. It was designed as the pinnacle of the Port Pendennis marina side development - a striking promontory jutting out into Falmouth harbour. Number 8 enjoys a prime and prominent harbour facing position at the head of Challenger Quay, set on the first floor South and West corner, where it overlooks two marinas, the harbour and the Maritime Museum. Incredibly, two of the three double bedrooms, as well as the dual aspect reception rooms, all face the water with commanding views. Cruise ship and superyachts often visit so that the constant maritime activity is very engaging. The apartment is remarkably spacious, where no room is light and the entrance and hallways are generous. The master bedroom measures an impressive 17’ x 13’ with dual aspect and French doors to a juliette balcony. The living room opens via wide French doors on to a superb ‘wrap around’ balcony with a wonderful front row seat to Port Pendennis and The Haven Marinas, over Falmouth Harbour to Flushing and Trefusis Point and along the waterfront to Greenbank Quay and Penryn River. Number 8 is well cared for, having been bought from new in 1998 and used sparingly as a second holiday home. However, it is mostly original and so would benefit from modernisation. It is an outstanding waterside apartment, of a size and position that is hard to beat. An exciting opportunity and wholeheartedly recommended!

THE LOCATION

Challenger Quay is an exclusive and much sought after waterside development completed in 1998 in an incredible position beside Falmouth harbour.

The development lies on a promontory, alongside Port Pendennis and The Haven marinas, the lifeboat slipway and County Wharf Quay, being the destination for the town's visiting cruise liners.

Number 8 is undoubtedly the 'best seat in the house', set on the water's edge, at the head of the development with direct and immediate outlook to three aspects and with water all around, providing a fascinating, ever changing and unbeatable marine view.

All the more remarkable is that residents of Challenger Quay enjoy access over the entrance to the marina, to Events Square, the Maritime Museum and Falmouth town beyond, all just a few minutes level walk away.

Falmouth is thriving and vibrant town with an eclectic mixture of independent and national shops, many galleries showcasing local art and crafts and an excellent and varied selection of places to eat and drink. Events Square and the National Maritime Museum regularly host activities and events throughout the year including Falmouth Classics, Falmouth Week and the Oyster and Sea Shanty festivals ensuring an all-year round vibrant community.

Nearby on the Southern side are the sandy beaches of Castle and Tunnel or a short walk away is the ever-popular Gyllyngvase complete with its chic, bustling café and safe swimming waters. Along the seafront is an array of architecture and building, all added to over the years with careful consideration of the desirability of the area and now providing various places for dining and leisure activities. No wonder then, that Falmouth is consistently voted in the top ten favourite places to live in the UK.
