An outstanding coastal townhouse with panoramic harbour and sea views on one of Falmouth's finest harbour facing terraces.
Dunstanville Terrace was built in the late 18th and early 19th century primarily for packet ship commanders and merchants, with houses often being built in front of an existing fisherman's cottage which is the case for No. 17. The house and cottage have been combined to create an elegant and spacious five-bedroom home.
The current owners purchased the house in 1987, with the previous owner having lived in the house since 1930. Over the last few years the house has undergone extensive refurbishment and has been sensitively modernised to include new bathrooms and kitchens and double glazing whilst retaining many of the lovely features of that period, including some very beautiful fireplaces, cornicing and staircase.
On the ground floor is the double reception room with magnificent sea views, this leads through to the galley kitchen that links up with the cottage. There is a double bedroom on the ground floor with French doors out to a small terrace and a second double bedroom on the first floor along with a modern bathroom
Stairs lead up to the half landing with access to the shower room and continue on up to the main reception room and kitchen/dining room. This is a lovely spacious reception room with impressive views and leads through to the kitchen/dining room. On the second half landing is a further bathroom before continuing on up to the third floor to the principal bedroom, again with amazing views, and a further double bedroom at the rear overlooking the gardens. On the top floor is the third bedroom, again with stunning views and an en suite.
There is flexibility for the property to be separated into two spacious dwellings creating a two-bedroom self-contained annex on the ground floor with the main house occupying the three upper floors.
Exterior and gardens
At the front of the property is a small front garden enclosed with iron railings and gate with granite steps up to the front porch.
At the rear of the property is a small courtyard garden with granite steps up to the main garden. All the gardens on this terrace have interesting gardens which in itself creates a pleasing view from the house and the garden of No. 17 is no exception.
There are a number of terraces planted with a variety of mature shrubs, fruit trees and flowers connected by granite steps and gravel paths with areas to sit and entertain before reaching the top part of the garden where you can enjoy the spectacular views of the Penryn River up towards Penryn, across the bay to Flushing and the countryside beyond and out to sea towards St. Mawes.
On the lower terraces there is a greenhouse and garden shed and from the top a gate that leads out onto Penwerris Terrace
