The property
The Fitzroy has honed luxury retirement living to a tee. Its unbeatable seaside position and outstanding value added facilities and benefits provide unrivalled reassuring living for those aged 55 years and over. The availability of Number 17 is a fantastic chance for those seeking the best, with its 2nd floor Southwest corner position and breathtaking sea and coastal views. This flawless apartment was bought from new by the current fastidious owners who have improved and ‘fine-tuned’ its 1,0492ft of accommodation to impressive standards. The property is beautifully designed with 8ft ceiling height throughout and generous room sizes. The sea facing open plan living/dining room and kitchen is an uplifting place to be with a ‘wall of glass’ to the water and coast access out onto a large partially covered balcony. There are two double bedrooms, the master with luxurious en-suite shower room, as well as the ‘main’ bathroom. The kitchen is ultra stylish with flush fronted white units, an island with sea facing sink and quality integrated appliances. All is practical too, with excellent and thoughtful storage space. Floors are under heated with engineered oak in the ‘living’ areas, and quality carpeting in bedrooms.
The location
The Fitzroy occupies a fantastic position along Falmouth’s seafront with the most spectacular, unobstructed South & East facing views to bay and coast. The bay boasts a number of beaches including our favourite, the secluded ‘Castle’ beach right opposite, as well as ‘Tunnel’ and Gyllyngvase – Falmouth’s most popular beach and home to the perennially popular Gylly Beach Café. The seafront is part of the Southwest coastal path with wonderful walks around nearby Pendennis Headland & Point, passing Henry viii's castle. In the other direction, the path leads to Swanpool & Maenporth beaches and the Helford River. The Fitzroy is a few minutes’ walk from the Spar shop & Post Office at Bar Road and just a little further away is an excellent early til late Co-Op. Falmouth Town and harbour is about half a mile away where there is an excellent and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of individual shops and quality galleries showcasing local talent. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Falmouth Docks) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth is a wonderful place to live and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country. Hardly surprising that the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
