Falmouth

A great opportunity to own this SUBSTANTIAL, FOUR (POTENTIALLY FIVE) BEDROOM DETACHED HOUSE which is set in ONE OF THE TOWNS MOST SOUGHT AFTER LOCATIONS, just off Western Terrace and within walking distance to local amenities, primary and junior schools, various university and college campuses, the sea front, several beaches and our fabulous sea front with views across Falmouth Bay to the horizon.

The house comes to the market for the first time in over 40 years as a 'chain free' sale and it offers bags of potential for new owners granting them the chance to create that special family home to meet their own requirements and needs.

The property is well presented and just a little old fashioned in places but you will certainly be able to personalise the house whilst in occupation.

Current features include gas fired central heating by radiators, UPVC double glazing (where stated) plus some original features including panelled internal doors, picture rails and skirting boards.

The spacious accommodation includes on the ground floor, a reception hall, sitting room, separate dining room which becomes open plan to the sun room and a snug, fitted kitchen and a cloakroom/wc. The first floor has a wide split-level landing, four bedrooms (potentially five), bathroom and separate wc. Outside, the property has an integral garage and driveway parking, an enclosed front garden with a gateway leading through a side paved patio to a generous rear garden which is in need of cultivation.

Marlborough Avenue is an enviable location within walking distance of the town centre. A gently descending downhill walk leads to Swanpool Beach and the Nature Reserve whilst in the adjacent street, there is a very convenient connecting footpath that leads through Tresahar Road providing a short cut to Falmouth's sea front and Gyllyngvase Beach. King Charles and Marlborough primary schools are nearby and Penmere branch line station provides a direct link to Falmouth Docks in one direction and onto the cathedral city of Truro to the other direction.

As our clients sole agents, we thoroughly recommend an immediate viewing to secure this substantial property.
