With views across Falmouth Harbour to Trefusis Point from upstairs, this late 18th century, slate hung cottage is superbly positioned just a couple of minutes walk from all the town amenities and half a mile from three beautiful sandy beaches.

Retaining much of its original charm, the property now benefits from secondary glazing and central heating and is entered via a couple of steps leading up to a small, fenced and gated, pretty courtyard garden with patio seating.

The front door opens to a wide hallway with a utility cupboard and a ground floor shower room W.C. with hand basin. Leading off to one side is a cosy sitting room with comfortable furniture facing the period working fireplace and two windows overlooking the little stone flagged front terrace.

At the rear of the cottage, a beamed farmhouse kitchen has an electric hob, a gas Rayburn for cooking, central heating and hot water, traditional dresser and a dining table, chairs and settle.

Carpeted stairs from the hall lead up to the first floor landing with a seating alcove and fine views over the harbour towards Flushing and St Mawes, and an adjacent cot in a curtained recess.

There are four cottage style bedrooms in a light and airy décor; two bunk bedded rooms with 3ft bunk beds, a twin bedroom and the master bedroom with a double bed facing a window with estuary views. A bathroom W.C. with hand basin completes the accommodation.

There is a private off road parking space for one car about 20 yards away.

The town has plenty of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants within a 5 minute walk downhill and just a little further to the pier where boat trips depart upriver and ferries operate to St Mawes and Flushing. Gyllyngvase and Castle beach are a 10 minute walk, as are Pendennis Castle, the National Maritime Museum, an indoor leisure pool and bowling alley. The gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan are within a short drive and there are also several golf courses within the vicinity.
