High Street, Falmouth

THE PROPERTY ‘The Lookout’ is a select phase of just six homes, being part of the award winning Packet Quays development. We sold the Packet Quays apartments from new and very much appreciate how unusual and special The Lookout is, discreetly accessed by car or on foot from the High Street up to a remarkable enclave of homes in a sheltered, convenient situation. Number 6 is exceptional with a private entrance and a ‘bungalow’ like feeling within. Notably, the property has a 23' x 19' (7.01m x 5.79m) living room with 12' (3.66m) high beamed, apex ceiling and glorious elevated ‘Lookout’ through its wide bay window, over Greenbank to water and shoreline. There are two double bedrooms, a fitted kitchen with the view and a ‘wrap around’ balcony and courtyard area to enjoy summer sunshine for much of the day. Number 6 has been a permanent home, a holiday home and most recently a lucrative holiday letting investment with a healthy track record. Whatever your requirements, this is an exceptional apartment and opportunity. THE LOCATION ‘The lookout’ is remarkably situated, tucked at the top of Falmouth’s High Street with the waterside and the High Street with its individual shops and galleries on one’s doorstep. The Boathouse, Star & Garter, or more up market Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and Greenbank Hotel are one's 'locals' and Falmouth's Marina is fifteen minutes' walk away.The town has a brilliant and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of shops, which include national chains together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Falmouth's seafront, on the town's southern side, is about a mile away, with sandy beaches, Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle and access to incredible walks and scenery along the Southwest Coastal Path. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth Docks are a major contributor to the town's economy and along with Falmouth University (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and Falmouth Marine School, specialising in traditional and modern boat building, marine engineering and environmental science, ensure an all year round and vibrant community. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro. 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.
