Description

SWANVALE GARDEN SUBURB

During the first quarter of the 20th century the Falmouth Docks & Engineering Co. had need of a rapidly expanding labour force and a requirement for having to be conveniently situated for access to the docks, via a newly constructed Penmere Halt on the G.W.R. Railway. The 300 acres of land they acquired were originally farmed, with leases going back to 1638 in the Parish of Budock. The Managing Director of the Company, John Silley was a businessman and philanthropist, initiated a proposal that the houses should be built for the employees and owned by them and to this end a 'Building Thri Club' was formed to which the employees contributed to gather funds until it was possible to start building. The start of the construction of 300 freehold homes was reported in the West Briton dated 14th December 1923, beginning in East Rise. Below East Rise was constructed a sports field with tennis courts and a Pavillion. The report in the London Times Newspaper of 1927 enthusiastically states: "An experiment that is being carried out there (Swanvale) is one of the most important that has ever been attempted in the country to secure the most amicable relationships between employers and employees. It is more than a garden village. It is a garden village and a village by the sea in one. There are now 100 cottages completed." The London architect employed were well known designers in the Tudor, Arts & Cras tradition with houses influenced by the 1919 Housing Manual. The development incorporated a 'village' green, a crescent and dormer cottages at East Rise.

THE LOCATION

The property is conveniently located in Falmouth, with Swanpool Nature Reserve and beach accessible via a leafy tree-lined public footpath less than a mile away. Boslowick shops, petrol station, amenities and the early til late Co-op are all within a short walk from the property with Falmouth town centre approximately 1 mile away. A regular bus service provides access to Falmouth and Penmere Train Station is a few hundred yards away which offers railway links both into Falmouth Dell, The Docks, Penryn and onto Truro, with links to Penzance, London Paddington and other principal cities. Falmouth is renowned for its beautiful period buildings and wonderful sailing waters; a true sailors town Falmouth has seen a renaissance over the past ten years and offers a vast array of bars, restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes. Famed for its many inspired eateries, festivals and regattas, the town also offers a good selection of shops, from boutiques to high street retailers. No wonder then, that Falmouth is consistently voted in the top ten favourite places to live in the UK.

THE PROPERTY

Number 23 is positioned in a mid terrace of three, tucked behind the green and nestling in its delightful garden. Built with brick in the 1920’s with a popular double fronted design, boasting character throughout and reminiscent of a traditional country cottage. The accommodation is charming and nicely proportioned with the ground floor comprising a modern fitted kitchen/dining area, a bathroom and a separate dual aspect living area with a feature exposed brick fireplace and inset wood burning stove for cosy Winter evenings. Upstairs are two large double bedrooms with dormer windows offering nice far reaching views over Boslowick. The real 'star of the show' with this property though is the garden - difficult to measure but approx over 150ft long space tiered into the hill across five separate levels. The initial patio area is accessed directly off living room French patio doors or from the rear porch door with steps rising to the further four levels - a wonderful mixture of seating areas, lawned spaces and all enclosed with established planted beds and trees. All encompassing a 'secret garden' feel which rises to the highest level with super views back across the valley. All is stylish and good quality with a gas fired combination boiler fuelling the radiators and hot water supply and double-glazed windows throughout. Highly recommended to view the property and I am sure this would appeal to those appreciating a garden in a great location.
