Roscarrack Close, Falmouth

THE PROPERTY & ITS HISTORY We love the provenance of this one, the bungalow having been the first reserved at Roscarrack Close in 1969, and remaining in the same family ownership ever since. We suggest it is in absolutely the ‘pick of the crop’ position within this much sought-after Close, tucked at the head and non roadside corner, with a glorious and remarkably generous 0.28 acre garden that feels ‘park like’ with its great privacy, establishment and peace. The family grew and the original bungalow was extended, converting the garage to a room and then a meaningful extension to provide a large, lengthened 28’ long sitting and dining room incorporating one of the original double bedrooms, with sliding patio doors overlooking and accessing the garden. The bungalow is being sold with no onward chain, and in need of modernisation. Although a very good size ‘as is’ neighbouring homes in the Close have expanded upwards to create a second floor which we suggest is an interesting prospect given the great views this would provide over the valley and to the sea, together with its befitting garden size, all subject to consents of course. There is plenty of parking space for a number of vehicles at 13, together with a 20’ x 10’ shed, tucked into the corner of the garden. Although this is elderly, it is the perfect spot to replace with another, providing a summerhouse, work from home office or whatever suits. This instruction excites us for its very special position and the opportunities it affords. High recommended! THE LOCATION Roscarrack Close is a much sought-after place to live, built by Gray Conoley & Co in the late 1960s as a prestigious development and at a time of less intensive building, than is the case today. number 13 is in ‘THE’ spot with Roscarrack Close with a large garden that provides privacy and peace as well as wonderful birdsong whenever we visit. The Close is situated on the edge of Falmouth, a five minute walk from shops at Boslowick and the excellent ‘early ‘til late’ Co-op. Primary schools are nearby, as is Penmere halt railway station and a bus stop running to and from the town and seafront. A streamside walk to Swanpool Nature Reserve and beach takes about 20 minutes. Falmouth is Cornwall's premier south coast location 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 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.
