The property

We are delighted to offer for sale this charming waterside property, a rare opportunity within the ever-popular Packet Quays development. As the original sole selling agents for these unique homes when new, we remember how swiftly they were snapped up “off plan” – and it’s easy to see why. Walsingham was bought in 1995 by the current owner and has been renovated recently to a high standard to include a new kitchen and glass/chrome staircase. Set in a truly remarkable position, this delightful home boasts breathtaking, uninterrupted views across Falmouth Harbour to Flushing, the coast, and the estuary. Compact yet full of character, the accommodation is thoughtfully designed to make the most of its setting. The open-plan lounge/dining area enjoys a striking double-height ceiling and opens directly onto a private balcony – perfect for soaking in the scenery. A well-appointed galley kitchen sits just off the living space, ideal for holiday stays or easy everyday living. A mezzanine bedroom overlooks the main living area, adding charm and light via a gallery effect, while a porthole window at this level frames picturesque views over the harbour to Trefusis – a wonderfully nautical touch. The property also benefits from a secure, allocated underground parking space located just opposite, at the top of the High Street. From there, a level pedestrian route leads conveniently to the apartment or into Falmouth town centre, placing cafés, shops, and the vibrant harbourfront all within easy reach. Currently operating as a successful holiday let, this property is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain – making it an ideal ‘lock up and leave’ bolthole, full-time residence, or high-performing investment.
