THE PROPERTY

An impressive and spacious semi-detached home with a lightly wooded outlook towards Goldenbank at the rear and a private driveway parking for two vehicles. The tastefully and impressively modernised four-bedroom accommodation features oak laminate flooring within the open-plan living areas and kitchen. There is a contemporary bathroom, shower en-suite and kitchen fittings, a large open plan living area including a sitting room with a white painted brick fireplace and wood burner, a kitchen and a large dining area with sliding doors out to the sunroom, leading out to the rear gardens. The current owners have reconfigured the bathroom area to the ground floor and utilised the space well, by creating a beautifully presented main bathroom and a utility room with large storage cupboards and plumbing available for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A fourth bedroom/separate sitting room is also located on the ground floor which is currently used as a large office room. To the first floor are three bedrooms, with the master bedroom now benefitting from a modern shower en-suite with a walk-in shower and some of the bedrooms featuring characterful fireplaces (currently not used). The property has undergone a thoughtful refurbishment and upgrades by the current owner. This includes a modern bathroom, kitchen, utility room, shower en-suite, engineered oak flooring and creating further storage space to the property. The gardens to the rear, side and front are well established with planted boarders, patio and lawn areas, making it ideal for barbecues and gatherings in the summer months, especially as the evening sun floods the side and rear elevations. A side gate provides access to two private off road parking spaces. All is stylish, of good quality and comfortable with a recently installed gas-fired boiler fuelling radiator central heating and hot water supply, whilst windows are UPVC double glazed. Overall this is an impressive four-bedroom home situated in such a convenient location to town and beaches. We are genuinely excited by this lovely house and instruction.

SWANVALE GARDEN SUBURB

During the first quarter of the 20th century the Falmouth Docks & Engineering Co. had need of a rapidly expanding labour force and a requirement for having to be conveniently situated for access to the docks, via a newly constructed Penmere Halt on the G.W.R. Railway. The 300 acres of land they acquired were originally farmed, with leases going back to 1638 in the Parish of Budock. The Managing Director of the Company, John Silley was a businessman and philanthropist, initiated a proposal that the houses should be built for the employees and owned by them and to this end a 'Building Thrift Club' was formed to which the employees contributed to gather funds until it was possible to start building. The start of the construction of 300 freehold homes was reported in the West Briton dated 14th December 1923, beginning in East Rise. Below East Rise was constructed a sports field with tennis courts and a Pavillion. The report in the London Times Newspaper of 1927 enthusiastically states: "An experiment that is being carried out there (Swanvale) is one of the most important that has ever been attempted in the country to secure the most amicable relationships between employers and employees. It is more than a garden village. It is a garden village and a village by the sea in one. There are now 100 cottages completed." The London architect employed were well known designers in the Tudor, Arts & Crafts tradition with houses influenced by the 1919 Housing Manual. The development incorporated a 'village' green, a crescent and dormer cottages at East Rise.
