North Parade, Falmouth, TR11

THE PROPERTY

Heather & Lay have sold the vast majority of Falmouth’s new developments over the last 30-40 years, and The Slipway is one of our absolute favourites. Built in 2015, The Slipway is an unashamed homage to the Art Deco period yet with all the advantages of 21st Century modern living. Number 9 is the ‘creme de la crème’, being one of only two penthouse apartments here, and with a blend of attributes making it very special and valuable indeed. The apartment has been a much-loved home for holidays for its current owners and its availability presents an exciting chance for those seeking a fantastic permanent or holiday home.

THE LOCATION

The Slipway occupies an enviable water fronting position along North Parade, Falmouth’s arterial riverside road leading to Falmouth High Street and town. The development sits beside and overlooks Falmouth’s Premier Marina with its excellent Upper Deck restaurant, and beyond which is Sainsburys supermarket. The delightful waterside walk into Falmouth town is relatively level and takes 10-15 minutes, passing the Greenbank Hotel with Working Boat pub beneath and the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.

Falmouth is Cornwall's premier south coast location, steeped in maritime history and renowned for its sandy beaches, spectacular coastline and scenery. The area is an all-year-round resort and boasts some of Europe's most regarded sailing waters. This historical town presents a fascinating mix of charming individual boutiques, shops and well-known high-street names. Falmouth has a reputation for its fresh sea food, and an abundance of cafes and restaurants provide a selection of worldwide cuisine and traditional local food.

Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country; little wonder the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
