The Space:

The Captain's Penwerris is an exceptional four-bedroom home occupying a commanding elevated position above Falmouth, with panoramic views stretching across the harbour towards Flushing, St Mawes and the Roseland Peninsula.



Set along historic Penwerris Terrace, the house combines an incredible outlook with generous living spaces, a private garden and parking for up to four cars an exceptionally rare combination this close to the centre of Falmouth.



At the heart of the house is the bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Designed for spending time together, there's plenty of room for slow breakfasts, shared cooking and long dinners, with the beautiful coastal outlook providing an ever-changing backdrop throughout your stay.



For larger families and groups, the separate second living room is a real advantage, providing another comfortable space to relax. Whether it's a quiet evening with a book, a film after a day exploring or simply somewhere to escape for a little peace while the rest of the house remains lively, the additional space makes group stays feel wonderfully easy.



The property sleeps up to seven guests across four beautifully presented bedrooms. There are two king-size bedrooms, one super-king bedroom which can be arranged as two singles on request, and a small double bedroom. With three bathrooms throughout the house, there's plenty of space for everyone to get ready without the usual morning queues.



Outside, the private enclosed garden provides another fantastic space to enjoy the property. With dedicated outdoor dining and comfortable seating areas, it's perfect for morning coffee, relaxed lunches and long summer evenings together.



At the rear of the property, guests benefit from private driveway parking for up to four cars a genuine rarity in such a central Falmouth location. Steps lead from the parking area down through the garden to the house, so guests with limited mobility may prefer to arrive via the front entrance, which avoids these steps.



Despite its peaceful elevated position, The Captain's Penwerris keeps everything Falmouth has to offer within easy reach. The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club is just a couple of minutes away, while the historic High Street, harbour, restaurants, cafés and shops are all within walking distance. Falmouth's beautiful beaches are also easily accessible for days beside the sea.



Spacious, bright and beautifully positioned, The Captain's Penwerris is one of those rare properties that genuinely ticks every box. Spectacular views, generous spaces, a private garden, exceptional parking and the best of Falmouth within walking distance make it a fantastic choice for families and groups looking for something truly special.
