- Unusual home in sought after area
A beautifully presented versatile home located in a sought after location on the edge of Falmouth. The current configuration has the main house with three/four bedrooms with a two bedroom separate annexe which could also be incorporated into the main house if needed.
The property has been occupied by the present owners for approaching fifty years and now having brought up their family, they are now looking to downsize and enjoy their continued retirement.
The owners have improved the property significantly with a fabulous fitted kitchen, refitted shower room and the conversion of the original garage into a two storey, two bedroom annexe several years ago.
Overall, there are five/six bedrooms with three/four in the main house and two in the annexe, the main house has gas central heating, the annexe has underfloor heating and there is double glazing and off-road parking for several cars.
This is a quality home in a great location with very flexible accommodation for the new owners.
As the name suggests the home was originally a farm built, we believe, in 1905. Located in the very popular Mongleath/Boslowick area it is ideal for families with both St Mary’s and St Francis Primary Schools being within a few hundred yards of the property and the main secondary school in Falmouth approximately one mile away.
The town of Falmouth has a wide range of commercial and leisure facilities all with easy access from the home with Boslowick shops at the bottom of Mongleath Road providing a small supermarket, hairdressers and fish and chip shop amongst other facilities.
Truro the cathedral city of Cornwall is approximately eleven miles away which offers private schooling and further commercial facilities.
