DoubleWhat a fabulous holiday home this is, a gorgeous mix of early Victorian terraced townhouse elegance and 21st Century luxuries, topped off with superb panoramic views.
Big bay windows in the sitting-room and main bedroom are the perfect places to sit and drink in the views, whether it's the multitude of yachts pottering about on the water in summer, or storm watching in winter. A wonderfully cosy sitting-room, a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast-room and three lovely bedrooms offer spacious and ultra-comfortable accommodation, perfect for families or friends wishing to enjoy the luxury of time together.
The centre of bustling maritime Falmouth is just a few minutes' walk away, with a fascinating mix of independent shops, art galleries, restaurants and historic buildings to explore.
Part of a beautiful 19th Century terrace, Bussillion offers wonderful accommodation for those who love period properties enhanced with modern luxuries (with the added bonus of private garage parking to the rear, unexpected in a town location).
The sitting-room has a Smart TV with Netflix, making it a lovely place to put your feet up and relax as your holiday wind-down begins. The fully equipped kitchen has granite work surfaces, a breakfast-bar and plenty of space for preparing meals, with an open archway through to the dining-room where you will enjoy lingering over relaxed holiday feasts.
The original Victorian staircase with its time-smoothed wooden handrail leads up to the three double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom and the main having the best possible views, across river moorings to the waterside village of Flushing and the Roseland peninsula beyond, around to the working wharves where visiting naval vessels and huge cruise liners are often seen.
A little study provides space for a quiet interlude with a good book or workspace for those who have to keep in touch with the outside world. A contemporary shower-room with walk-in shower and a separate cloakroom complete the accommodation. Outside, steep steps lead up to a raised patio area bordered by a low wall, where garden dining furniture provides the ideal spot for meals and evening drinks on balmy days. Another short set of steps leads to the garage where there is parking for two medium-sized cars.
Falmouth is a bustling maritime town with an abundance of marinas, yacht chandlers and independent shops, plus art galleries, wine bars and restaurants aplenty to keep everyone occupied and happy. There is watersport tuition of every kind, so why not learn to sail a dinghy, windsurf or paddleboard while you have the chance? Better still, send the teenagers off to do so while you watch from the comfort of a beachside cafe or bistro!
With beaches at Gyllyngvase, Swanpool and Maenporth within easy reach (all with beach cafes and restaurants) and spectacular coastal footpaths to explore, this is a fabulous area for a holiday whether it be active and outdoorsy or relaxed and rejuvenating, and beautiful Bussillion provides the most perfect base.
