THE PROPERTY

This incredible penthouse presents the ultimate in apartment living in Falmouth. Challenger Quay was designed as the pinnacle of the Port Pendennis marina-side development - a striking promontory jutting out into Falmouth harbour. The developer, Peter de Savary, kept the Penthouse for himself, having created something very special indeed. As Estate Agents for over 35 years in the area, Heather & Lay have been at the forefront selling waterside and water view apartments and developments in the Falmouth area. We can confidently say that this extraordinary property is unique and the best of the best. You will not find another one like it. The Penthouse has changed hands only twice since 1998. The current owners have a meticulous eye for detail and desire to fine tune to perfection. Their uncompromising, no expense spared approach has created a wonderfully stylish home that impresses and inspires in equal measure. The apartment extends over an entire third floor, so that the lift rises exclusively, via a private key, into the reception area.  The property provides a remarkable 2,400 square foot of bright and airy accommodation. The regular ceiling height is 9' (2.74m) and the impressive reception rooms are beamed, apexed and much higher. The apartment is harbour fronting with commanding waterside views from all rooms. These include two marinas and the lifeboat station. Superyachts and cruise ships often visit so that the constant maritime activity is very engaging. With size comes flexibility. Number 19 has three spacious double bedrooms with a potential fourth currently fitted as a study with impressive built-in desks and bookcases. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms. There are two superb reception rooms both with vaulted ceilings - one a sitting room with large, sheltered balcony and spectacular views to harbour, docks, estuary and coast. The other living space is open plan and superbly designed. It incorporates generous spaces, to sit, relax and dine as well as a sleek and stylish kitchen with integrated NEFF appliances. The piece de resistance is the adjoining rooftop terrace and garden visible and accessed through a full-height range of windows and French doors. This amazing, sheltered space measures an almost unheard of 25' x 24' (7.62m x 7.32m), faces South and West with glorious water and elevated town views and provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy al fresco dining. Number 19 has a separate utility room, with a boiler room and pantry offering further extensive storage. The internal decor is immaculately presented with Karndean flooring in all rooms except bedrooms which are carpeted. This Penthouse presents the epitome of town and waterside living and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

THE LOCATION

Challenger Quay is an exclusive and much sought after waterside development completed in 1998 in an incredible position beside Falmouth harbour. The development lies on a promontory, alongside Port Pendennis and The Haven marinas, the lifeboat slipway and County Wharf Quay, being the destination for the town's visiting cruise liners. Number 19 is undoubtedly the 'best seat in the house', set on the water's edge, at the head of the development with direct and immediate outlook to three aspects and with water all around, providing a fascinating, ever changing and unbeatable marine view. All the more remarkable is that residents of Challenger Quay enjoy access over the entrance to the marina, to Events Square, the Maritime Museum and Falmouth town beyond, all just a few minutes level walk away. Falmouth is thriving and vibrant town with an eclectic mixture of independent and national shops, many galleries showcasing local art and crafts and an excellent and varied selection of places to eat and drink. Events Square and the National Maritime Museum regularly host activities and events throughout the year including Falmouth Classics, Falmouth Week and the Oyster and Sea Shanty festivals ensuring an all-year round vibrant community. Nearby on the Southern side are the sandy beaches of Castle and Tunnel or a short walk away is the ever-popular Gyllyngvase complete with its chic, bustling café and safe swimming waters. Along the seafront is an array of architecture and building, all added to over the years with careful consideration of the desirability of the area and now providing various places for dining and leisure activities. No wonder then, that Falmouth is consistently voted in the top ten favourite places to live in the UK.
