Description

The Strand was conceived in the early 2000s, developed as an exclusive, gated apartment complex, set within manicured, coastal gardens.

Location

A stunning, waterfront apartment located within the former grounds of the Carthion Hotel. The apartment sits to the west end of the four and five storey buildings, at its upper ground floor level, with level access to the rear of the property while having superb, elevated views overlooking the Falmouth Bay and Pendennis Castle from its southerly elevation.

Falmouth has always been one of the most desirable addresses in Cornwall with its idyllic, sheltered beaches and coves, perfect for swimming and water sports while only being a short walk away from the bustle of Falmouth’s internationally famous harbour town, its coastal influenced hotels, restaurants and spas as well as Gylly beach’s popular café within a five minute walk of the property.

The apartment’s largely glazed southern façade allows unrestricted views over the picturesque coastline which stretches from Pendennis Castle in its east, to Stack Point to its west.

This view depicts a picture postcard scene of Cornwall’s riviera coast that has inspired artists, explorers and writers for centuries, including the novelist Daphne du Maurier. The bustling town is enclosed by verdant, pastoral landscapes, protected by their AONB status, renowned for their wildlife and cultural value, making the area a popular destination for those looking for a diverse and rich community in which to live.

The beaches and pleasure gardens along the Helford passage are only a 25-minute drive away to the south west and the property is within 500 metres of St Michael’s hotel which is now a luxurious spa and wellness resort offering a range of club membership facilities and fine dining experiences including an indoor thermal pool and health suite.

The historic port town of Falmouth is under a mile away with a fantastic selection of shops, restaurants, seasonal events and schooling as well as a mainline railway station offering direct services to Truro, with onward high-speed services to London Paddington and Glasgow.
