SITUATION

Stratton Terrace and neighbouring Stratton Place, are particularly fine Grade ll Listed short terraces of grand town houses on Falmouth’s historic harbourfront in one of the oldest parts of the town known as Greenbank, very close to the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club. The most prime house is Stratton House – the only house facing south (and east) over the harbour, standing proudly back from and elevated above the road screened by high hedges and mature trees. From the upper floors in particular, the house commands breathtaking panoramic views spanning Falmouth harbour and all of the moored yachts and sailing boats across to the picturesque village of Flushing, Trefusis Point, Pendennis Castle, and across the Fal estuary (Carrick Roads) to St Mawes Castle and St Anthony Head. The harbourside setting is a perfect location for family living and for retirement too – just 5-10 minutes’ walk from Falmouth’s main shopping streets and, upstream, Falmouth Marina. Falmouth has in recent years been listed as the best place to live in the south west region in the prestigious Sunday Times Best Places To Live Guide. The locations were selected for offering the best quality of life for the widest number of people combining a consideration of factors such as positive community spirit, good local shops and services and attractive outdoor spaces. Indeed, the port of Falmouth offers an excellent array of shops, galleries, eateries, cafés, cinema, leisure facilities, golf course and National Maritime Museum. The town has two marinas, Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and fabulous coastal scenery and walks. Falmouth boasts four fine sandy beaches - all safe for bathing: Castle beach, Gyllyngvase beach, Swanpool beach and Maenporth beach. There are golf courses at Falmouth and at nearby Budock Vean by the Helford River; excellent sea fishing, horse riding, and miles of coastal paths to explore.

The cathedral city of Truro 12 miles away is Cornwall’s administrative centre offering the county’s foremost shopping, business, commercial, and both state and private schools and state and private hospitals.

THE SAILING Whether for the keen sailor or dedicated yachtsman, the south coast of Cornwall – and Falmouth in particular – offers numerous yacht and sailing clubs and the wonderful day sailing waters of the Carrick Roads (Fal estuary) considered to rank amongst the finest in the United Kingdom. In addition, excellent sailing is available on the stunningly beautiful Helford River to the south and to the east, on the rivers Percuil and Fowey. THE PROPERTY Stratton House is without question one of the most prominent and largest Grade ll Listed Regency houses beside Falmouth harbour, in one of the best possible settings, facing south, east and west commanding fabulous views from the upper floors across the harbour to Flushing and around the harbour taking in the Prince of Wales Pier, Falmouth docks, Pendennis Castle, St Mawes Castle, St Anthony Head and, upstream, along the Penryn river – an ever changing vista of perpetual maritime activity with sailing vessels from colourful oyster boats to cruise ships. Legend has it that, circa 1840, after being built in the early 1800’s, the gentleman owner decided to split off the rear part of the original vast detached house to provide a separate house for his daughter and, thus, the house took on its present configuration with that very simple 1840’s vertical division resulting in the present house and neighbouring house, number 2 Stratton Terrace, to the rear (north side). There are no shared driveways or pathways.
