THE PROPERTY This semi-detached two-bedroom bungalow offers comfortable single-level living in a highly sought-after location on Melvill Road, perfectly positioned equidistant between Gyllyngvase Beach and Falmouth town centre. The setting, combined with a superb mature west-facing rear garden, makes this a truly unique property within Falmouth.The garden provides excellent potential, featuring an existing block-built shed that could be converted into a studio, garden office, or hobby space (subject to any necessary consents).Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a well-proportioned sitting room with high ceilings, a gas fire, and sliding doors opening directly onto the rear garden. An archway leads through to the kitchen, which is filled with natural morning light and offers an excellent opportunity for a buyer to modernise and personalise. The bungalow further benefits from two generous double bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities, offering further scope for updating. The property is sold with the added advantage of no onward chain, making it an ideal opportunity for those seeking a project in a prime coastal location. LOCATION Centrally located and close to all that Falmouth offers, 74a Melvill Road is situated less than 200 yards from the historic Fox Rosehill Gardens. This peaceful subtropical space, the legacy of the Fox family who also created nearby Glendurgan and Trebah, is believed to be the first subtropical gardens in the UK. Step outside the front door and enjoy a morning stroll amongst the exotic plants and Cornish palms or within a five-minute walk you can be at Gyllyngvase Beach and enjoy breakfast at Gylly Beach Café or a sea dip followed by a session in Kilna Sauna on the sand. A ten-minute walk in the other direction takes you to Swanpool Beach, the coastal footpath and nature reserve to feed the swans. 74a Melvill road is also perfectly positioned for Falmouth Town, Events Square and the National Maritime Museum where you’ll find lots of independent shops and restaurants are a 5 min walk and Killigrew Street and The Moor with transport links via bus and ferry, as well as an array of artisan cafes, shops and Falmouth Art Gallery are also close by. We would argue that this is one of the best locations in Falmouth, being close to no less than 3 beaches, Pendennis Point, Pendennis Castle, the harbour, the gardens, the town, a nursery and primary school as well as Falmouth University all on your doorstep. Not to mention The Princess Pavilion which is only a few minutes away for a delicious Sunday roast or live music and culture. You would never need to leave Falmouth with so much to see and do – but if you did decide to leave, you’re also walking distance from a train station that will take you straight to Truro. Locations don’t get better than this!
