2 bed semi-detached bungalow for sale

Frankland Close, Falmouth TR11

The property

There is something rather special and so unexpected about this property which provides much more than meets the eye, from a cul de sac drive by. 6 Frankland Close is set at the head of this popular cu de sac, with an elevated outlook from the bungalow over Swanvale and Boslowick valley. But it is the beautifully conceived, landscaped garden that really excites, for its fantastic commanding view, privacy and seclusion, setting it aside from anything you will see at this price level. The bungalow is semi-detached and very well presented and equipped, providing two double bedrooms and a sitting/dining room and kitchen with great picture window views. There is a modern bathroom and a gas boiler in the loft provides radiator central heating and hot water supply. Windows and doors are UPVC double glazed. A steep drive parks two/three cars in tandem, leading to a single size garage, beside which, a high fence and gateway opens to reveal the unexpected! The garden is an uplifting space with quality hard and soft landscaping providing substantial areas of terrace to enjoy, as well as an area of lawn and a backdrop of dense shrubbery and an oak tree, to Penmere station and the railway track behind. Within the garden is a wonderfully versatile bespoke ‘summerhouse’, bespoke built in timber with wooden floorboards, UPVC double glazed windows and French doors to the terrace and garden. This is spacious and so flexible with its stove, bed base, study area and shower/WC, making it a great work from home office, overspill accommodation or whatever suits. This is an absolute gem for the right person, and a home we are delighted to be selling!

The location

Frankland Close is a popular residential location, situated within Swanvale Valley on the fringes of Falmouth. Number 6 enjoys a privileged position, tucked away into the top corner of the Close.

Boslowick garage and convenience store is ‘local’ with shops at Boslowick including the excellent nearby early ‘til late Co-op. Three primary schools - Marlborough, St. Mary’s and St. Francis are in close proximity, as is Penmere railway station, linking to mainline Truro. A nearby bus stop runs regularly to Falmouth town centre.
