Grove Place, Quayside, TR11

THE PROPERTY

Number 8 Grove Place is a beautifully presented top floor apartment set within an elegant Grade II listed double-fronted Regency townhouse, expertly converted into apartments during 2005/2006. We were delighted to handle the original sales at the time and remember how exceptionally well received the development was, with apartments selling quickly thanks to their character, location and outstanding views. The current owner has thoroughly enjoyed nearly ten years here, particularly the apartment’s elevated position, ever-changing river views and incredibly convenient setting just moments from Falmouth’s vibrant harbourside and town centre. Now offered for sale with no onward chain, the apartment has been freshly renovated and redecorated throughout, providing a ready-to-move-into home ideal as a main residence, investment or lock-up-and-leave coastal retreat. Accessed via the impressive original entrance to Number 6, broad granite steps rise to a striking columned portico and grand communal entrance hall. A wide, gently winding staircase leads to the top floor, serving just two apartments, creating a peaceful and private atmosphere.

Inside, the apartment feels wonderfully bright and welcoming, with large multi-paned sash windows to both front and rear elevations allowing natural light to flood through the accommodation. The living room is a particular highlight, enjoying captivating panoramic views across the harbour, slipway and Haven Marina, extending towards Falmouth Docks, the Carrick Roads and the Roseland Peninsula, a constantly changing outlook filled with sailing activity throughout the year. The recently re-fitted kitchen is finished in a stylish matt white design with space and plumbing for appliances, while the modern shower room features a corner shower cubicle and contemporary fittings. A quality new floor has also recently been laid throughout the apartment, complementing the fresh decorative improvements. The accommodation is well balanced, comprising a generous double bedroom to the rear and an open-plan sitting room/kitchen to the front, perfectly positioned to maximise the superb outlook. Apartment 8 is one of just a handful within the development to enjoy such exceptional harbour and marina views. It is difficult to imagine a more convenient and engaging location from which to enjoy all that Falmouth has to offer, and we wholeheartedly recommend an early viewing.
