2 Bedroom Detached House

Tucked away behind Harbour and Erisey Terrace, this wonderful character cottage occupies a discreet and highly sought-after position, just moments from the harbour-side and the heart of Falmouth, tastefully improved and updated by our client in recent years.

Believed to date back to circa 1800, and understood to be the oldest dwelling on Erisey Terrace, the property has an intriguing past, originally forming part of a barn before being thoughtfully converted into residential accommodation during the Georgian or early Victorian period. Today, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly appealing individual home, blending historic charm with carefully considered modern improvements.

Purchased by the current owner in 2013, the property has since undergone a comprehensive programme of enhancement. The ground floor has been relaid with attractive slate flooring, perfectly complementing the rustic aesthetic, while a bespoke hand-built kitchen provides both functionality and individuality. The living space is centred around a woodburning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, further enhanced by exposed stonework and timber detailing.

Upstairs, the improvements continue with vaulted ceilings introduced to both the principal bedroom and the shower room, enhancing the light and space, while original beams have been exposed to show-off the building’s character. The first floor also benefits from stripped, treated timber floorboards and a tasteful redecoration throughout, resulting in a cohesive and well-presented interior.

The accommodation offers a spacious lounge/diner, separate kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a first-floor shower room, with the principal bedroom enjoying attractive views towards the harbour. Outside, a raised but level rear garden provides a private and sheltered space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

A truly unique home, rich in history and charm, quietly positioned yet exceptionally convenient for Falmouth’s vibrant town centre, harbour and coastal surroundings.
