Description
The Strand was conceived in the early 2000s, developed as an exclusive, gated apartment complex, set within manicured, coastal gardens.
The apartment is entered at the rear of the property, at its upper ground floor level through a glass front door which leads to its own front door and entrance hall. An intercom operates and controls access for visitors through the main gate.
With its own front door and entrance hall, the apartment is laid out in a rectangular format with the open plan living room positioned on the south western side of the building to enjoy dual aspect views of the sun and sea. From the entrance hall, a door opens into the central linear hall which provides access to all of the rooms. Double oak doors open onto the bright and airy living room with glass doors opening up onto a balcony, framing the stunning views of the coast and its various activities.
The external decking is sheltered by the floor above and enclosed by a glass balustrade allowing enjoyment of that incredible view, whatever the weather or time of day.
There are also glass doors in the western elevation that open up views of the property’s gardens and leafy setting.
The kitchen is located towards the back of the open plan living space, fitted with high-quality timber units which includes plenty of storage units, ample grey work tops and tiled splash backs. There is a range of integrated appliances including an AEG fan oven; a gas hob, full height fridge/freezer unit, a washing machine and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink. The boiler is housed in a corner cupboard above the work surface.
From the other side of the entrance hall there is a family bathroom with a large profiled bath, shower attachment, W/C and vanity unit sink with mosaic tile wall finish.
To the end of the entrance hall is the main bedroom with glass doors that open on open up to the views of the sea and a side window inviting in more light. This rooms has its own ensuite shower room.
The second double bedroom lies to the back of the property with side window opening up to the sounds of the sea.
The apartment has been kept in good decorative standard throughout; the bright and airy rooms reflect the light and sunny location, creating a desirable coastal retreat.

The Strand is accessed via a rolling galvanised steel security gate to a concrete block surfaced parking court where there are marked parking bays for each apartment, including spaces for visitors. A second pedestrian gate allows direct access from the apartments to the waterfront.

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.
