The Liner was built a few years ago on the site of the former Falmouth Beach Hotel and overlooks Gyllyngvase beach.

The development is well insulated between each of the floors, with underfloor heating throughout and a vented air recirculating system.

Tom Powell, from estate agent Lillicrap Chilcott, said: ‘This apartment is quite literally the only one of its kind. 

‘The owners bought it off plan and concluded the one and two bedroom apartments were too small for what they wanted.

‘They wanted something quite special and different so they agreed with the developer and their architects to get both and put them together to ultimately make a far better, more spacious living space with a broader view.

‘The views are panoramic, from Pendennis Castle, taking in St Anthony’s lighthouse, right across Falmouth Bay and all the way round to the Manacles off Lizard Point.

‘Falmouth is a very desirable area. In most places in Cornwall you get either beaches or the sailing lifestyle but Falmouth has got both golden sandy beaches and that yachting lifestyle as well.

‘It is a vibrant and busy town with lots going on all year-round including the Oyster Festival and Falmouth week.

‘The apartment is very new still and very well kept. The specification from the original developer was far above what you would normally expect for a block of apartments.’
