Description

One of Falmouth's most interesting and atmospheric period homes, constructed c. 1830 in the Regency style, in the sought-after Greenbank area of Falmouth, a 'stones throw' from the harbour and Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, with all front-facing rooms enjoying views through and over the property's own picturesque gardens, to the constant marine activity within the harbour, Flushing, Carrick Roads and Roseland peninsula beyond. Exuding charm and character throughout, the highly versatile accommodation includes 3/4 bedrooms to the main house, together with a 2-bedroomed cottage to the rear and 1-bedroomed basement flat.

The Property - Constructed, we understand, circa 1830, 3 Stratton Place is a fine and extremely elegant Grade II Listed house, occupying a prominent, yet surprisingly 'hidden' position, close to the landmark Greenbank Hotel, with all front-facing rooms enjoying a picturesque outlook over the delightful, extremely well stocked and highly private front gardens, to Falmouth Harbour and Flushing, Trefusis Point, the port area, Carrick Roads and Roseland peninsula beyond.

Providing much charm and character, having retained many authentic quality features, including sash windows, 10' high ceilings, moulded cornices, tall skirting boards and marble fireplaces, the property offers immense flexibility with both the two-bedroomed 'Garden Cottage' to the rear and one-bedroomed basement flat being, either, 'self-contained' from the main house, and therefore ideal for dependent relatives or as a source of letting income etc, or, for reintegration with the main accommodation through existing doorways and staircases.

From the front gardens, a glazed entrance porch opens into a 27' reception hall with elegant turning staircase ascending to the upper floors. A magnificent sitting room has interconnecting double doors to the original dining room, now used as an occasion ground floor bedroom, with, to the first floor, another fine, full breadth reception room, with doorway to the kitchen/breakfast room. At first mid landing level, there is access to a family bath/shower room, with cast iron roll-top bath, with a second bathroom, with separate WC, located to the top floor, together with three double bedrooms, two of which enjoy particularly fine elevated views over the gardens and harbour.

Independently accessed from the front gardens, the basement flat comprises an entrance lobby, bathroom, kitchen/diner and bed/sitting room; 'Garden Cottage' can be accessed through the rear gardens, and provides its own entrance hall, shower room, open-plan living room with kitchen and, to the first floor, two bedrooms and landing which interconnects with the main accommodation.

In addition to the front gardens, which feature a mass of mature specimen trees and shrubs, and which provide a lovely, sheltered sitting-out area from which to enjoy the views to the harbour, there is a good sized rear garden, which enjoys a particularly sunny aspect, is enclosed by slate capped stone walling to all sides, and features sitting-out terraces, a kitchen garden area, mature fruit trees, timber store and gateway providing pedestrian access from Harriet Place to the rear.

The Location - Stratton Place occupies an excellent position at the 'foot' of Dunstanville Terrace, opposite The Greenbank Hotel, and just yards from the entrance to the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club. The picturesque harbourside walk along Dunstanville Terrace leads to the top of the High Street and beyond, to the town centre, where there is an excellent range of bars, restaurants, shops and commercial facilities. Falmouth Marina on North Parade is an approximate ten minute walk away, where there are excellent pontoon, laying-up and repair facilities, with deeper water moorings available in the harbour on application from The Harbour Master.

The town, recently voted by the readers of The Sunday Times, as 'Britain's Best Place to Live' has, for many years, been recognised as 'the gem of the Cornish riviera', with its sub-tropical gardens, sandy beaches and picturesque coastline walks. The university at Tremough continues to grow and, as always, the town's proximity to the cathedral city of Truro, twelve miles distant, means many peoples preference is to live in the vibrancy of Falmouth, with Truro's health, education, administrative, retailing and commercial amenities just a short drive, bus ride or train journey away. Consequently, we, the vendor's Sole Agents, cannot think of anywhere nicer to live!
