THE PROPERTY Originally dating from the early 1800's, Gyllyngdune Manor was re-developed approximately ten years ago. Apartment 18 is on the first floor and has recently been holiday let by the owner. The open-plan sitting/dining room opens into the well-appointed kitchen that in turn leads to a side-facing balcony that attracts the afternoon and evening sun. Two double bedrooms are on offer, with the master having the benefit of en-suite shower room. Another bathroom is off the entrance hall, plus a useful store cupboard.
GYLLYNGDUNE MANOR HISTORY Falmouth in the early 1800s had little but a pedestrian cliff path running along the seafront and very few buildings had been constructed. In 1838 the Gyllyngdune Estate was acquired by Rev. W. J. Coope who became the rector of Falmouth. In 1840 the Rev. Coope constructed the original house and a small building on the seafront, known as the chapel. After the Rev. Coope’s demise, the estate changed hands for £10,000 to a famous mining entrepreneur, Sampson Waters. The estate remained in the Waters family until 1903 when the property was sold to Falmouth Borough Council, enabling them to connect the town via the seafront by building Cliff Road, which had previously terminated at the Gyllyngdune Estate. In 1904 the estate was used as a pleasure and winter garden. The grotto and further land was purchased in 1907 and the garden was officially opened to the public as the Princess Pavilion in 1910 by Princess Alexandra.
THE LOCATION Gyllyngdune Manor occupies one of the most sought after, valuable and uplifting residential positions to be found anywhere in Falmouth, set back from the seafront, overlooking the established gardens and grounds and out to sea, taking advantage of glorious southerly views across Falmouth Bay to the infamous Manacles reef. Its location is superb, situated on the town's seafront and southern side, with Castle beach right ahead, Pendennis Castle and Point to the East and a few moments' walk to Gyllyngvase beach and café, along the coastal path to Swanpool and Maenporth beaches and beyond to the Helford River. This location is also remarkably convenient to the town and harbourside where there is 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 vibrant community. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and another in Penryn as well as highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro. Falmouth boasts the third deepest 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. Hardly surprising that the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
