Avenue Road, Falmouth

THE PROPERTY This charming and beautifully presented mid century home is rather special, combining valuable features and convenience into a wonderful package that’s so hard to find at this price. This attractive detached bay window bungalow sits nicely back from Avenue Road, and in good company alongside fine period homes and guest houses. But it is at the rear where the unexpected is revealed, with access along a lane and no through road to a generous parking area, garage and fantastic garden! Built in the 1930s, retaining original characteristics and with generous proportions, the property has been thoughtfully improved and modernised to create a stylish and comfortable two double bedroom home, the main with en suite shower room. There is a bay window sitting room with a quality cast iron inset gas fire as well as a sociable, light and bright kitchen and dining room likely to become the hub of the home. The bungalow has had a recent ‘Worcester’ gas boiler fitted, bespoke shutters made for its windows an ‘Everhot’ stove installed in the kitchen. Mindful of running costs and energy saving, an expensive scheme of wall insulation was also undertaken. THE LOCATION Pretty much perfect for leaving the car at home and accessing Falmouth’s delights on foot! The bungalow lies between the seafront and harbourside, where town and beaches are a few minutes away. It would be hard to find or imagine a more convenient and central residential position for a home, with Events Square, shops and The Dell railway station, linking to mainline Truro, all on ones’ doorstep. What a treat to walk to Gyllyngvase beach and cafe, with the excellent early ‘til late Co-op beside, or to our favourite and quieter Castle beach and its cafe. Its a joyful, convenient and engaging situation and with the benefit of that remarkable garden, a rarity too!
