SITUATION:
The historic port of Falmouth was for 200 years the base for the packet services and became the second busiest port in Britain after London. This position was maintained until the end of the last century when sail gave way to steam power. Today it has become a haven for leisure and boat enthusiasts and more than ably caters for the day to day needs of most families.Falmouth harbour itself never fails to provide an ever changing panorama and has hosted transatlantic races in addition to many other sailing and water-sports championships. For the keen day sailor or dedicated yachtsman, the south Cornish coast offers numerous yacht and sailing clubs and the wonderful day sailing waters of the Carrick Roads and Fal Estuary, considered to rank amongst the finest in the UK, are close at hand. Indeed both Falmouth yacht marina and the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club are approximately just 400 yards from the door of Penwerris Vicarage.There are golf courses at Falmouth, Budock Vean, Killiow and Truro, together with many miles of scenic coastline protected by the National Trust. Pendennis Castle marks the entrance to what is the worlds third largest natural harbour and now home to the acclaimed National Maritime Museum, besides what many believe is the safest and least crowed day sailing waters in England.The Cathedral City of Truro with its excellent shopping, administrative and schooling facilities is 11 miles distant with a mainline rail link to London Paddington. (There is also a Falmouth-to-Truro branch line).
DESCRIPTION:
On instructions from The Diocese, we are pleased to offer this former Grade II Listed Vicarage believed to have been built in the early 19th Century.Elevated above Stratton Terrace and with lovely views over moored yachts in the Penryn River to the village of Flushing on the opposite bank and out into Falmouth harbour, this imposing detached former vicarage is one of the few properties to have retained its grounds to Penwerris Lane above with its own driveway leading to a private off-street parking area.Typical of a house from this period, the accommodation is generous in proportion with all principal rooms enjoying water views. It will be obvious to prospective purchasers that the house does require modernisation throughout and we feel this makes for a great opportunity for someone to create their own home and style.Outside, the house is set up and back from the road by a large lawn, with an equally sizeable enclosed courtyard patio behind the house, with a further area of garden immediately above. Behind this is the garage (in need of repair or replacement) and driveway.
ACCOMMODATION:
Imposing Grade II Listed former vicarage with river and harbour views. 5 bedrooms, private gardens and courtyard, driveway and off-street parking.
DIRECTIONS:
Entering Falmouth, turn left at the second of two roundabouts, just after the "Park & Float" car park. Follow this road past Falmouth Marina on your left hand side and Penwerris Vicarage will be found on the right hand side shortly before The Greenbank Hotel.
