Falmouth

Occupying an exceptional position, just a 2 minute walk from the seafront in one direction and 1/3 of a mile from Events Square and the harbour in the other, a quite magnificent 3-storey house, the subject of a top-to-toe, no expense spared programme of remodelling, extension and refurbishment works, completed in 2018, creating a light, spacious and extremely versatile 3/4 bedroom, 3 bath/shower room home, appointed to exacting standards throughout. Sunny, south-facing views to Falmouth Bay are enjoyed from the rear elevation, with the front-facing rooms looking out over the town to the harbour and village of Flushing beyond. Front and rear gardens are attractively landscaped and ample private off-road parking for 3/4 vehicles is provided.

The Property - 'Milton House' was the subject of a complete programme of extension, refurbishment and improvement works, completed in 2018, which included a side extension to form a new entrance hall, turning staircase and signature porthole windows, the removal of internal walls for the rearrangement of the accommodation, rewiring, replastering and replumbing throughout, the installation of full uPVC double glazing, a comprehensive and efficient gas fired central heating and hot water system, the fitting of a fabulous family sized kitchen, dining and living room with Heritage range cooker and extensive polished granite worksurfaces, and double doors opening onto a broad, well enclosed and extremely sunny, south-facing rear patio - ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining etc.

A ground floor living room features a bay window to the front elevation, and a ground floor cloaks/shower room is adjacent and ideal therefore should a ground floor bedroom ultimately be required. The first/middle floor comprises the current master bedroom with glass-fronted balcony, dressing room and spacious private bathroom with five-piece suite including a free-standing bath, as well as two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom/WC.

The top floor has been designed to become a further bedroom suite if preferred, is currently configured to provide a superb, light, airy double aspect room with tall dormer windows to both the front and rear elevations, the former enjoying the ever-changing elevated views over the town to the harbour and Fal Estuary, the latter opening onto a glass-fronted south-facing balcony with views between the neighbouring properties to the sea.

The front gardens have been attractively landscaped and stocked with a pedestrian gate providing easy access onto Melvill Road, off which Avenue Road leads directly to Events Square, the harbourside and town centre. To the rear, there is a broad, well enclosed, paved sun terrace, adjacent to which a large resin-bound private parking area provides ample space for three/four vehicles as well as direct, level and easy access to the rear entrance.

In all, a superbly presented and appointed home, originally dating from the turn of the last century but, extremely rarely, ready to move straight into with no works required. An early viewing is therefore unhesitatingly recommended.
