THE PROPERTY Designed, we understand, by the extremely highly regarded pre-war architect, Cornelius, 'Trouville' is a detached, individual and highly characterful house, occupying an elevated position in this sought-after area of Falmouth, just a few minutes walk from Greenbank, the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and town centre beyond. Retaining many authentic original features, including panelled doors, open fireplaces and small pane casement windows, the light and well proportioned accommodation has been expertly designed to benefit from the picturesque river and harbour views from the front elevation, and the extremely sunny south-west facing rear aspect. Beautifully stocked front gardens set the property 'above' North Parade, and have been terraced and gravelled for ease of maintenance. A pathway leads to an impressive pillared entrance, and into a welcoming reception hall with lovely turning staircase with attractive corner window providing much natural light. The lounge benefits from a walk-in square bay window, directing the views towards Flushing and surrounding countryside, and between twin casement windows to the rear elevation there is a magnificent Minster stone fireplace. A separate dining room

(16' x 16'2) into an arched bay window, with window seating, enjoys equally lovely views and, again between twin secondary windows, there is a fine marble fireplace.

The broad, easy rising, turning staircase leads onto a part galleried first floor landing, off which there are three double bedrooms, including a 'master' with private en-suite shower room, in addition to which there is a sumptuous L-shaped family bath/shower room with quality four-piece suite including a separate shower. Throughout, the property benefits from excellent storage and a modern gas fired boiler provides comprehensive central heating. To the rear, the gardens have, again, been most attractively landscaped and stocked, provide a high degree of privacy and include an extensive paved patio, ideal for al fresco dining etc, an outside utility/boiler room, beautifully stocked shrub borders, broad gravelled terracing, and two useful timber outbuildings, one of which (15'10 x 9'10) is ideal for use as an artist's studio or workshop etc. Accessed from the rear off Penwerris Lane, a deep driveway provides vehicular access to the rear of the property where there is private off-road parking in addition to a detached block-built garage, with pitched roof, and light and power connected.
