4 bed detached house for sale

Penmere Drive, Falmouth TR11

Set in the quiet, well tended, lightly timbered grounds of Penmere Manor, an exceptional, detached house of stunning 3-storey design, providing well proportioned, light and extremely versatile 4/5 bedroom accommodation - faultlessly presented and superbly appointed throughout, including sumptuous living accommodation which, via a magnificent sun room/orangery, overlooks and opens directly onto beautifully landscaped rear gardens. In all, a stunning home, an early viewing of which is unhesitatingly recommended.

The Property

Constructed circa 2021, Penmere Drive comprises a small, select development of just seven, substantial, detached, three-storey houses, set within the lightly wooded grounds of the Penmere Manor Hotel.

Number 4 is particularly well presented having been only partially occupied by the current owners who have made a number of improvements which further enhance this already beautiful home. An attached garage with electronic roller door has off-road parking to the front where there is also a boiler store which provides gas fired central heating throughout the property - under-floor to the living areas. All main rooms enjoy an attractive lightly wooded aspect to the rear, to Swanpool Nature Reserve, with the lower ground floor overlooking and opening onto the superbly landscaped Japanese-style rear gardens, which include water features, hardwood decking, gravelled beds and numerous specimen plants and shrubs. Bi-folding doors from a sun room/orangery - added by the present owners - open directly onto the gardens, which are also accessed from an adaptable study/occasional fifth bedroom, as well as from a deep kitchen and dining room. An automatic watering system adds further to the low maintenance nature of these beautiful gardens, which are well enclosed to all sides by timber fencing, providing a high degree of privacy and shelter.

Amongst the many other features, the property benefits from full double glazing, a sprinkler system and hard-wired internet connections to many rooms. A reception hall, the full depth of the property, leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom at entry level, above which there is an extremely well proportioned principal bedroom suite with Juliet balcony, private en-suite shower room, dressing lobby and access to extensive eaves storage space.

The lower ground floor offers the best of both worlds: Open-plan enough to provide light, contemporary living, yet adequate sub-divided to form distinct kitchen, dining, lounge and study areas, complemented by a useful utility area and ground floor cloakroom/WC.

This is a house which will not disappoint - we guarantee. An early viewing appointment is therefore unhesitatingly recommended by the owners' Sole Agent.

The Location

The Penmere Manor Hotel is an extremely well established and highly regarded private hotel, situated off tree-lined Mongleath Road, close to which exceptional day-to-day amenities include a large convenience store, two junior schools and a parade of shops at Boslowick. Penmere Railway Halt is just a few minutes’ walk away, buses regularly stop on Boslowick Road, and attractive woodland walks lead to the head of Swanpool Lake which is less than one mile away. A circular walk around the lake leads to safe, sandy Swanpool Beach, to either side of which the South West Coast Path leads to Falmouth in one direction, and Maenporth and the mouth of the Helford River in the other. Falmouth town centre is just over one mile distant and within which there is an excellent range of retail, commercial and leisure amenities, including many bars and restaurants, extending the length of the picturesque harbourside from Greenbank to Event Square. No wonder Falmouth frequently appears as 'one of the best places to live anywhere in the UK', with the cathedral city of Truro also just twelve miles distant and easily accessed by the nearby railway line.
