You can expect to find all the best mod cons inside; from new kitchen gadgets to clean carpets and freshly painted walls.
The Space:
Split over three levels, the first floor is comprised of a large open-plan kitchen and dining room, as well as a cosy living room with double French doors to the garden.

In the kitchen, you will find brand new mod cons for cooking: a gas hob, oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, kettle and toaster. There's also children's dinnerware and a high chair. The farmhouse style table creates a sociable dining area for dinner, or stick the Roberts Radio on for a soulful breakfast. Additionally, on the ground floor there is another WC and utility room.
Upstairs to the second floor there are three crisp, clean and homely bedrooms. The master bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed with wardrobe and dressing table, as well as a private en-suite with shower. The two further bedrooms have a double bed and bunk beds - both share a family bathroom with a shower and bath. A travel cot with proper mattress is also available. One of the properties best assets is the large, paved garden which gets glorious afternoon light. On the ground level is a large outdoor table and chairs, ideal for evening BBQS, and up the steps you will find a pair of wicker chairs perfect for reading.

The Neighborhood:
The property is located in the vibrant town of Falmouth, but tucked away in Swanpool's leafy suburbs. The pretty Swanvale Nature Reserve is situated just behind the property, and is a delightful place for a walk. Swanpool Beach is only a five minute drive or around a 10 minute walk, and offers calm waters perfect for swimming. There's also SUP and kayak hire for the more adventurous! Gyllyngvase Beach is another great beach just a little further round the headland. On sunny evenings, Hooked on the Rocks is an idyllic place for a tipple at sundown or fresh seafood overlooking the water.
The harbourside is around a ten-minute drive or 25 minute walk, boasting ample seafood restaurants, pubs and bars. We'd recommend trying Five Degrees West and The Wheelhouse for excellent local beer and delicious, fresh food. The Star & Garter on the high street, around 15 mins walk, and is also worth a visit for its award-winning menu. A little further, you will find the Falmouth Docks and within half an hour you can walk all the way to Pendennis Point - a must-see for epic views from the castle.
The town is loved for its creative feel and maritime heritage. If you love food, the annual Oyster Festival in October is the perfect time to visit. The festival marks the start of the oyster dredging season and celebrates the very best Cornish seafood.
A short drive from Falmouth, you'll find National Trust-owned Trelissick Gardens, with a woodland walk that’s free to enjoy and takes you right down to the banks of the River Fal. For a post-walk pint, we would recommend heading to The Pandora Inn (around 15 mins from the gardens). Its sea-front location makes it one of the prettiest places for a pint this side of the Tamar.
Getting Around:
Given the remote nature of Cornwall, a car is recommended for getting the most out of your stay here. That said, Falmouth has very good transport links with trains running from London Paddington all the way into the town centre. Falmouth Town station is a 20 minute walk from the house, and from here you can hop on for one stop to the end of the line at Falmouth docks or to Penryn in the other direction - a quaint fishing village.
Other Things to Note:
The property is split over 3 levels, so may not be suitable for those with mobility limitations. Stair gates have been fitted to help ensure safety for those with younger children.
