Penwerris TerraceFalmouth, Cornwall, TR11 2PB

Grayshott provides a delightful window back into the 1960's; the house is full of reminders of the original, iconic design of that era including vast picture windows, layered building mass and natural timber finishes. The property has been developed and updated with upvc double glazing, a utility space and soffit boards but retains many clues as to the property's history, including that it was once part of the walled production gardens of the grand terrace below. Many of the adjacent buildings are listed including the beautiful wall that bounds the south side of the garden, made of killas stone rubble and slate tile copings. The house and gardens have been enjoyed and continually updated by three generations of the same family.

The house is entered from the private drive at the upper ground floor level, opening on to a linear reception hall which leads straight ahead into the dining room/snug with its stunning views of the estuary. A large picture window frames the breath taking, animated view. From this room, there is a door to a deep cupboard under the staircase and in the right hand wall, a weighted, glass sash window pulls down to open up a service hatch from the kitchen to the dining area. The light and airy kitchen features a gas fired aga and is fitted out with white storage units, grey work tops and matching tile splash backs. The kitchen includes a fridge/freezer and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink, positioned to offer the best view in Cornwall while washing up. A glazed side door leads out to a boot and utility room, with its own separate front and rear entrances, ideal for drying out damp outdoor gear. The garden can be accessed from this room via turning concrete steps. From the entrance hall is a bright and spacious family bathroom with obscured window opening to the front of the property. This room includes a bath, shower, WC and pedestal sink and a large linen cupboard provides valuable storage space.

Descending the open oak staircase from the entrance hall takes you to the lower ground floor and directly into a large sitting room filled with light from the expansive windows. A sandstone fireplace with gas supply and fitted dresser create eye catching features. A glass door opens onto an external veranda and the garden, sheltered from the elements by the floor above and a wall balustrade. This allows enjoyment of that incredible view, whatever the weather or time of day. Off the rear of the sitting room is the principal bedroom with its own impressive view of the sea and a quirky en suite bathroom with a glazed shower room, WC, bath and its own door to the veranda. A bank of original built in wardrobes in natural wood lines the back wall of the bedroom. Ascending two flights of stairs to the first floor level takes you into the roof space with two double bedrooms to the left and right with built in cupboards. From the landing, a door opens on to a full length eaves storage room where the gas boiler can be found. These bedrooms offer the most spectacular views of the stunning panorama.

Exterior, gardens and garage - Grayshott is approached via a concrete block and poured surfaced entrance drive, offering its own off road parking space and access to a single garage. The garage is within the footprint of the house and currently provides useful external storage space. The property is enclosed by a mixture of sloping and stepped boundaries including the historic stone wall in places. Rendered, often retaining walls and fences secure the remaining parts of the site and iron railings run across the change in garden levels. The house sits at the top of the sheltered, sloping plot. It has attached ancillary accommodation in the form of a workshop. The rear garden is divided into two level terraces of lawn connected by flights of steps to one side.
