Close to the charming maritime town of Falmouth, The Clock House is a fabulous holiday home with the stunning views over the Carrick Roads and a beautiful walled garden. With access to a private beach (shared with the main house) and private mooring only 300 yards from the property at an additional cost; this gorgeous property is perfect for a Cornish getaway throughout the year.

This beautiful Grade II Listed building is part of Porthgwidden Estate and from the moment you arrive you will be enchanted. Characterful and charming, the grand entrance hall leads to the kitchen with a handy pantry for all your holiday goodies. The dining-room has delightful sea views and a serving hatch to the kitchen and patio doors. The sitting-room is fabulous, with oodles of space and a cosy wood-burner to keep you warm throughout the seasons. The views from here are quite special, taking in the walled garden with sub-tropical plants and the magical seascape. This spacious room has a "library" section with desk and additional TV and sofa, ideal for a quiet read or children's area.

The sitting-room leads to the principal bedroom, with a wonderful outlook over the estuary. This bedroom has 'zip and link' beds that can be made into a super-king or twin and the most luxurious en suite bathroom with a free-standing bath and walk-in shower. Along the corridor tucked away in the peace and quiet is a second sweet bedroom with a double bed and its own en suite shower-room.

On the first floor you can find two further bedrooms and family shower-room. Bedroom 3 has the best views and from this elevated position you can see out over the estuary to the Roseland peninsula. Bedroom 4 has 'zip and link' beds which can be a super-king or twin beds depending on your needs. Each bedroom on the top floor has a sink and there is also a family shower-room with a lovely large shower and WC.

The outside space is just stunning at The Clock House, catching the sun throughout the day you can enjoy opening up the large sliding doors from the house to the walled garden. There is a pretty covered pond, please take care with little ones. The terrace outside the sitting-room has an awning to provide shade during summer. The old kitchen garden is to the side of the house and catches the evening rays which is perfect for you to enjoy your sundowner.

In addition, there is access to a private beach and slipway, along with a mooring (by separate arrangement) only 300 yards from the property, or there is launching nearby and at Loe Beach too. Through the pretty gate at the bottom of the kitchen garden and through the grounds of the house and after only a few minutes you will reach the water. There is space to store your boat/kayak/paddle boards here or take a swim at high tide (you can also drive down to the beach).

Babes in arms under six months old are welcomed at The Clock House.

If you are looking to get out on the water you can hire kayaks, paddleboards etc from Loe beach (seasonal)which is only moments from The Clock House and it also has a great cafe open (please check opening times) which does fish and chips on a Friday (you have to order ahead) plus a new wood-fired sauna right on the beach.

Restronguet Creek is an idyllic spot on the Fal Estuary, perfect for wildlife lovers, walkers and anyone seeking peace and tranquillity. The Clock House is situated a short drive from the King Harry Ferry, which carries you over to the stunning Roseland peninsula.

The maritime town of Falmouth has a great selection of eclectic shops, boutiques and cafes, and a fabulous maritime museum the whole family will enjoy. A passenger ferry leaves the harbourside from here over the Carrick Roads to St Mawes on the Roseland and the lesser-known areas such as Place and Flushing.

Further west and the dramatic Lizard peninsula awaits. Head for Kynance Cove, a spectacular headland with stunning views, or perhaps Lizard Point lighthouse the most southerly point in England. However you plan to spend your blissful holiday days, The Clock House is the perfect holiday home for all your Cornish adventures.
