## Description

**THE** **PROPERTY** **** Renowned E. Thomas built some of Falmouth's most desirable homes and 1 The Nurseries was designed and built by a director of E. Thomas for his own family in 1966. The property has never been offered to the open market and has remained in the current family ownership almost 57 years.

Block built and sitting nicely in a plot of a fifth of an acre (with a very easy maintainable garden), there is off-road parking and garage too!

All rooms are of a generous size and although perfectly liveable 'as is' the new owners may wish to update and modernise to suit the open plan living areas more popular today and Number 1 has the scope and versatility for this.

A great property and we highly recommend a viewing.

**THE** **LOCATION** **** The Nurseries lies on the outskirts of Falmouth just off Trescobeas Road one of the main arterial roads for Falmouth. Once out of The Nurseries, the town, beaches, and 'A' roads are easily accessible, and you are just a mile or so from the town and seafront and a few hundred yards from Trescobeas Surgery and just moments from Falmouth Secondary School.

Trescobeas Road is on a regular bus route to and from the town and seafront and a local walk close by to Tregoniggie Woodland leading through to Swanvale, passing Swanpool Nature Reserve to Swanpool beach and the South West Coastal Path.

Falmouth has an excellent and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of individual shops as well as national chains, together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington.

Falmouth Docks are a major contributor to the town's economy and along with Falmouth University (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and Falmouth Marine School, specialising in traditional and modern boat building, marine engineering and environmental science, ensure an all year round and active community. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro.

Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country. Falmouth is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
