Offering a rare combination of character, convenience, and versatility, this delightful home enjoys a highly desirable position within easy walking distance of Falmouth's vibrant town centre, picturesque waterfront, Falmouth Docks, the St Mawes Ferry, and an excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants, and transport connections.
Whether you are searching for your first step onto the property ladder, a low-maintenance coastal retreat, or a lucrative addition to an investment portfolio, this attractive cottage presents an exciting opportunity. With an estimated rental income of approximately £750 per calendar month, equating to a gross yield of around 4.5%, the property offers strong appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors alike.
Internally, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise both space and natural light. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a bright and inviting entrance area which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. This leads through to the well-appointed kitchen/dining room, a practical yet sociable space perfectly suited to everyday living, entertaining guests, or enjoying relaxed evenings at home. The generous double bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, benefiting from ample space for freestanding furniture, while the contemporary shower room serves the property with modern convenience.
A staircase rises to the first floor where a particularly useful attic room can be found.

Ideal as a home office for those working remotely, a creative studio, hobby room, occasional guest accommodation, or simply valuable additional storage, it provides a level of flexibility rarely found in properties of this size.
Outside, the cottage continues to impress with an enclosed front garden, creating a private outdoor haven in which to enjoy a morning coffee, dine al fresco during the warmer months, or simply relax and unwind after a day by the coast.
