3 Thetis Place

Fabulous, uninterrupted sea views over Falmouth are found at this charming Victorian cottage, tucked away in the heart of the town. The sitting-room and principal bedroom both have large windows that perfectly frame the ever-changing harbour and waterfront—mesmerising in every season. Just a short steep downhill stroll along traffic-free lanes brings you into the centre of town, making it easy to pop out for breakfast croissants or enjoy the many bistros, restaurants and bars nearby, all while returning to a wonderfully relaxing cottage.

Step into the entrance hall, where the principal bedroom sits to your left, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area lies ahead. The kitchen/diner is thoughtfully designed, with a well-equipped kitchen and a generously sized dining table - just perfect for long, leisurely meals together. On cooler evenings, after a refreshing day on the coast path, perhaps light the wood-burner and unwind in the armchair with a glass of red feeling those stresses melt away. In warmer months, the afternoon sun streams through the windows and onto the little courtyard where there is a table and chairs for two perfectly positioned for the afternoon sun in a sheltered nook.

Up the steep cottage stairs, the beautiful sitting-room spans the front of the property, offering sweeping 180-degree views across the water towards St Mawes, Flushing, and up the river to Penryn. With the constant comings and goings of the port, there is always something to watch. Early risers can enjoy sunrise with a hot drink in hand, and if you're lucky, you might even spot dolphins in the estuary during the winter months. With ample seating for everyone, no one misses out on the view, and the wood-burner effect electric stove adds a cosy focal point - perfect after a blustery day exploring.

The cottage offers two bedrooms; the principal bedroom, located on the ground floor, features a comfortable king-size bed and those beautiful sea views over the terrace - ideal for slow, relaxed mornings. The second bedroom is tucked away on the first floor at the rear of the cottage and offers flexible sleeping arrangements with 'zip and link' beds (super-king or twin). Also on this floor is a spacious and airy shower-room, complete with a large walk-in shower which is perfect for rinsing off salty hair after a day by the sea.

Part of a private terrace of just three properties, the cottage sits on a steep hill in the heart of Falmouth. At the front, a sunny terrace with a bench and table provides a lovely spot to enjoy the morning sun. (Please note, this terrace is also used for access to numbers 1 and 2 Thetis Place.) There is a private car parking space for the property about 150 meters away to ensure stress free trips in the car to ensure you always have somewhere to park at the end of the day. You can also pull up at the top of the lane down to the cottage to unload before you park the car.
