Falmouth

We are delighted to offer as our clients sole agents, this four bedroom, first floor apartment set in this striking Grade II listed building and commanding lovely views from the front aspect across the Watersports Centre to the Penryn River, Trefusis Head, harbour and docks, The Carrick Roads and the Roseland Peninsula beyond.

Bank House is a prominent period building steeped in local maritime history, originally built in 1788 as a home for Robert Ware Fox and subsequently converted into 9 quality apartments back in 2002 but keeping the distinctive front and rear elevations, original staircase and mosaic tiled flooring to the communal entrance hall.

This well presented home offers new owners a bright and welcoming living environment which has distinctly nautical and Mediterranean themes.

The apartment is packed with features including gas fired central heating by radiators, sealed unit double glazed sash windows, engineered oak flooring to the kitchen area and carpeting to the rest of the property, fitted kitchen with wrap around granite work surfaces and built-in appliances.

The bright and spacious accommodation offers in sequence, an entrance vestibule, open plan kitchen/dining/living areas, a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The apartment also has a large single garage within the secured gated driveway.

The apartment is being sold with the benefit of 'no onward chain' allowing a motivated purchaser the chance to conduct a swifter sale.

Bank House is seconds walk from the Events Square with a number od delightful bars and restaurants and of course the National Maritime Museum. Turning left outside the front door gives you a level walk into Falmouth's eclectic town centre passing the waterside districts to the right with the centre offering a range of independent and high street names together with a varied selection of pubs, bars, restaurants from around the world and more. A leisurely 10 minutes walk will take you to Falmouth's spectacular sea front where you will find Castle Beach with its lovely cafe and a little further on, the Blue Flag Gyllyngvase Beach which is an ideal destination for watersports enthusiasts. The Gylly Beach Cafe is also a popular choice and there is a Co-op convenience store opposite.
