Description
Built in the 1840s and formerly a convent and school, St Joseph’s is a distinctive and elegant residence, rich in history and architectural detail. Behind its handsome façade lies a beautifully proportioned home where original character blends seamlessly with modern comfort.
A grand reception hall with carved balustrades and a galleried landing sets the tone. Two generous reception rooms connect effortlessly the sitting room with wood-burning stove and French doors to the garden, and a separate dining room ideal for entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-appointed with polished granite worktops and ample space for family life. A shower room with laundry area completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs are five bedrooms and a family bathroom with both freestanding bath and separate shower. Several rooms enjoy river and sea glimpses, with particularly fine views from the principal bedroom. Above, a substantial 74 sq m loft offers potential for further accommodation (subject to the necessary consents) although we believe the existing accommodation is impressive enough!
The detached two-bedroom annexe provides excellent flexibility, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, holiday or long-term letting, or a home office/business space.
The gardens are private, mature and sheltered, with gated access through a neighbouring garden leading from Kimberley Place. Gas central heating and double glazing are installed. Offered with no onward chain.
Parking Nearby - Whilst the property does not have allocated parking, unrestricted on-street parking is available close by, at Kimberley Place, Raleigh Place, Park Hill, Park Terrace, Clifton Terrace, Place and Crescent. In addition, at the time of writing, a garage and parking space were available to rent locally.
In all, a highly appealing opportunity to secure a landmark home in one of Falmouth’s most convenient and characterful settings. Viewing is strongly recommended.
