4 Bed Terraced House For Sale

VIDEO TOUR:

THE PROPERTY

In an Estate Agency world of positive scattergun superlatives, its difficult when a property really stands out from the crowd. Suffice to say, this joyful Victorian property is reminiscent of a littler and very good Florence Place house, which for those in the know, is praise indeed. Our Heather & Lay sales team has visited - all coming away uplifted and raring to introduce this memorable home to a fortunate buyer. The discerning current owners have spent the last three years restoring, modernising and ‘fine tuning’, without sparing expense, imagining they were here for good. However, family commitments away, means a reluctant sale and a hen’s tooth opportunity for somebody else. There’s something indefinably right about 7 Albany Road, where a number of special qualities coincide to set it apart from the norm. Accommodation is well proportioned with four bedrooms and separate sitting and dining rooms. The fourth bedroom/study is situated downstairs off the dining room and with a comfortable shower room/WC beside. This gives flexibility for use as a guest suite or perhaps to self-contain. The scheme of restoration and modernisation undertaken throughout has been cleverly handled with care to preserve original characteristics and charm whilst introducing style, flair and real comfort. Being end of terrace, lightness is gathered from three sides plus several large roof windows that flood brightness within. The 22’ oak floored, contemporarily fitted kitchen/breakfast room is a delight with an easy flow into the garden through French doors. Ablutions are beautifully taken care of with a luxurious bath/shower room upstairs, shower room downstairs and three loos in all! We love 7’s established and surprisingly private walled garden which measure a healthy 46’ x 18’ with an area of lawn and generous terrace, accessible from the kitchen and dining room. To the rear is a single garage although ‘on street’ parking is unrestricted all around. So that’s a flavour of why Number 7 is so special but we would urge a viewing to come see, experience and buy!

THE LOCATION

Number 7 lies in a particularly good and elevated spot at the end of this attractive terrace of eight Victorian houses, set at the top of Albany Road where there is a feeling of openness, space and lightness around. This is understandably a valuable and sought-after place to live. The house is equidistance between Falmouth town, harbourside and the seafront and beaches, all a leisurely 10-15 minute walk away. Great to have the convenience of the early ‘til late Spar shop, just 150 yards away and we love nearby ‘Provedore’ - an inspired cafe, deli and bar and The Seaview Inn, both within a couple of hundred yards’ radius. Falmouth is a vibrant town with a year round community and has an excellent and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of individual shops and quality galleries showcasing local talent. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Falmouth Docks) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth provides some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country and is renowned for its maritime facilities. It is no wonder Falmouth is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the UK!
