THE PROPERTY
Grade II listed Marlborough Farm is an absolute gem, indeed we know of nothing quite like it in Falmouth. Built in the early 1800s, the farmhouse would have owned much of Falmouth as we now know it, with about 30 acres of land extending to Swanpool Beach and the coast. Marlborough Farm was home to John Bull (1772-1851) the famous Packet Ship owner and captain, before he built his nearby Regency mansion - Marlborough House. Marlborough Farm is beautifully proportioned and carefully restored, preserving original characteristics whilst incorporating modern day comforts and stylish touches. 'Living' accommodation is a delight with a lovely, spacious farmhouse kitchen with an electric AGA and room to dine and sit. There are two separate reception rooms, with open fire or stove; the drawing room opens via French doors onto a terrace and garden. Upstairs are three decent bedrooms, separate bath and shower rooms (plus a cloakroom downstairs). The garden at Marlborough Farm is a treasure where the ancient and old blends beautifully with modern planting and stylish design, to create separate though flowing spaces of real variety, interest and colour including the wooded rear garden with magnificent old beech trees. A brilliant, large pitch slate roof studio is currently used as a multi-purpose family activity/art room but is great for so many applications, such as overspill accommodation and, a potential annexe to create a fourth bedroom or summerhouse with its windows and French doors into the garden. We are genuinely excited by this lovely house and instruction and believe it to be unique in the locale.
*Marlborough Farm, along with Marlborough House and the other listed buildings in this cluster are named after Capt. John Bull's packet ship the Duke of Marlborough. (An interesting reference by the National Maritime Museum about the Falmouth homes of the packet ship commanders can be found here). https://nmmc.co.uk/2024/03/the-former-houses-of-packet-commanders/
