Kaiser Chief's Ricky Wilson owned £1.5million mansion in a 'vibrant' UK town by beautiful beaches

Ricky was born in West Yorkshire but chose the Cornwall town in the south of England as a place to settle down.

His former property features five bedrooms with rustic decor and it is located in the beautiful surroundings of the seaside town.

Cornwall is loved for its beaches and history and the county experiences some of the best weather in the UK, making it a staycation hotspot.

As well as being by the water, it is home to attractions such as Trebah Garden, Pendennis Castle and the Maenporth to Swanpool Pathwalk.

Falmouth Seafront Promenade is also worth a visit and those who have been there have shared glowing reviews on Tripadvisor.

The attraction has 4.5 out of 5 stars on the review platform. One holidaymaker wrote: "Always a pleasure visiting Falmouth. Wish I never moved away.

"Spot on promenade and great bars and things to do. Keep up the great work Falmouth number one place in Britain for me and my family."

Another said: "We had a lovely walk along the promenade. The promenade is nice and flat and there are plenty of benches along the way.

"The area is well landscaped with seaside plants and shrubs which provide a lot of colour. The area is very well-kept and clean. You can look out to sea over the beaches and over to the castle."

Another recent visitor was also full of praise. They said: "We loved Falmouth, the boat trips, the harbour, the shops and the atmosphere. What a lovely place to visit. There are some nice walks as well."

A fourth chimed in: "Falmouth is a vibrant town with a very interesting and varied seafront. The town is packed with great cafes and restaurants and also has a great choice of independent shops. A lovely place to spend a day."
