Falmouth

Enjoying what, accurately, can be described as one of the finest views on Falmouth's seafront, a first floor flat in this small, select, retirement development, with not only breathtaking views from a private balcony, but also from all 4 main rooms, which provide this flat with a tremendous amount of natural light and warmth thanks to its sunny, southerly aspect. 2 bedrooms also benefit from built-in wardrobes, a shower room has been refitted by the present owner, and the sea-facing kitchen opens directly from the double aspect living room with casement doors onto the balcony. Safe, secure, low maintenance retirement living at its best!

The Property - McCarthy & Stone are well known providers of retirement accommodation throughout the country and have three developments in Falmouth. Carnes Court is perhaps the most favoured due to its small and select nature, prime south-facing seafront position, with communal gardens which open directly onto Cliff Road, a level walk along which leads to Castle Beach in one direction, and Gyllyngvase Beach in the other.

Occupancy is restricted to a single resident being over sixty years of age, or for a couple, one most be sixty and the other over fifty five. A house manager is regularly on site, providing help and assistance to the residents, who have a convivial communal lounge with tea and coffee making facilities etc. There is also a guest's suite which is available on application from the manager for visiting friends and relatives; some parking is available to the rear of the building off Emslie Road, and the well maintained communal front gardens provide sunny sitting-out areas. A service charge of £2,300 per six months, together with a ground rent of £460 for six months covers all aspects of maintenance and buildings insurance, with each resident only being responsible for their own heating bills and the internal redecoration and carpeting of their own apartment.
