Falkland House, 137 High Street

 A Historic Townhouse with a Truly Exceptional Private Garden

 Quite simply, Falkland House is a very special home. Combining the character and history of a late 19th-century townhouse with beautifully upgraded accommodation and a stunning vaulted-ceiling extension, this remarkable property offers the rarest of combinations – town-centre living with your very own private garden oasis, garage and parking to the rear. Originally dating from the late 1800s, the property has a fascinating local history, having once been the home of a sea captain and later operating as a B&B. Today, it has been thoughtfully extended, upgraded and meticulously maintained, creating a beautifully presented home full of character, warmth and individuality. The location could hardly be more convenient, with the front entrance opening into a small shared vestibule and then directly onto the High Street, while the rear access provides a much more private route into the garden, garage and parking. Step inside and the quality and character of the accommodation quickly become apparent.
