3 Melvill Lane, Falmouth, TR11 4DY

The property Occupying a superb position on the highly regarded Melvill Lane, this substantial detached residence enjoys one of Falmouth's most desirable settings, just a short stroll from the town's picturesque beaches, stunning coastline and vibrant town centre.

We understand that just one property on Melvill Lane has changed hands on the open market in the past 12 years, such infrequent sales are a testament to the continued appeal of this highly regarded residential address, where homes are seldom available.

Having been cherished as a much-loved family home for the past 20 years, this is the first time the property has been offered to the open market in two decades, presenting an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine quality and exceptional potential.

Now requiring modernisation throughout, the property provides the perfect blank canvas for buyers looking to remodel, enhance and create a truly outstanding coastal home tailored to their own tastes, in one of Falmouth's most sought-after residential locations.

Set within an impressive plot, the property boasts a wonderfully large, level, south-facing rear garden with wrap-around access, providing excellent privacy and all-day sunshine.

Ample driveway parking to both the front and side of the property is an invaluable feature rarely found in this part of Falmouth, complemented by an integral garage offering further potential, subject to any necessary consents.

The well-proportioned accommodation includes three generous south-facing double bedrooms one with an en-suite, each enjoying pleasant views across the garden towards Falmouth Bay and The Manacles beyond.

A spacious sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, family bathroom, WC/Cloakroom, covered front porch, utility room with internal access to the garage, and a south-facing conservatory opening directly onto the garden complete the accommodation, making this a home perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining.

We are genuinely delighted to be bringing this wonderful property to the market.

Given its outstanding location, generous plot and exceptional scope for improvement, we strongly recommend arranging an early viewing to fully appreciate everything this rare opportunity has to offer.
