THE PROPERTY
Built in 1875 and was built out of brick by the Ministry of Defense and called "The Watch House" and for obvious reasons.
At the time this house and Henry VIII's castle were virtually alone on the peninsular and the 360-degree views would have been outstanding. Nowadays the views are still very pleasant but there are a few more neighbours.
Immaculately presented family home with lots of sociable living space, a large wraparound sun deck/terrace and four bedrooms. The kitchen/diner is just off the huge sitting room and is filled with natural light and a great place to entertain. The off-road parking would allow for at least 5 vehicles.
All in all, a very fine and thoroughly appealing home in this outstanding location. Seeing is believing and we highly recommend that an internal inspection of this lovely house will prove worthwhile.
THE LOCATION
Castle Drive is sought after for its fine position with "The Watch House" enjoying an enviable situation just a few hundred yards from the seafront and a third of mile from Falmouth town. Castle Drive as its name suggests, is the road traversing Pendennis Point on which is situated the 400-year-old Tudor Pendennis Castle. Great scenery, delightful walks and commanding views are within easy reach, of "The Watch House" , making it an appealing family home.
Castle Drive has so much of what Falmouth has to offer on its doorstep. You have a choice of the secluded sandy beaches of Castle and Tunnel or a short walk away is the ever-popular Gyllyngvase complete with its chic, bustling café and safe swimming waters. Along the seafront is an array of architecture and building, all added to over the years with careful consideration of the desirability of the area and now providing various places for dining and leisure activities.
A short walk away is Falmouth centre - a thriving and vibrant town with an eclectic mixture of independent and national shops, many galleries showcasing local art and crafts and an excellent and varied selection of places to eat and drink. Events Square and the National Maritime Museum regularly host activities and events throughout the year including Falmouth Classics, Falmouth Week and the Oyster and Sea Shanty festivals. No wonder Falmouth is consistently voted in the top five favorite places to live in the UK.
