Penarrow House, Cornwall, Falmouth

Penarrow House occupies one of the finest waterside locations in South Cornwall, situated just beyond Mylor Harbour. This 5-bedroom home sleeps up to 10 people and offers outstanding views, making it the perfect base to escape. Being directly on the shoreline of the Fal Estuary favoured by the sailing community and enjoying spectacular views, nothing beats relaxing on the front terrace and watching passing boats. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasting direct access to the estuary known as Carrick Roads, Mylor Yacht Harbour is viewed by many as one of Cornwall’s finest marinas.

On entering the house there is a dining area adjacent to the split-level drawing/TV room, both with open views over the water. A self-contained study is off the hallway for those who wish to work while on holiday. At the back of the house is the well-equipped kitchen & breakfast room overlooking the rear garden. From the kitchen extends a utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher and freezer & a downstairs toilet with a hand wash basin. The table tennis room is off the dining end of the kitchen. A “sunroom” off the rear terrace is ideal for drying wetsuits and sails.  The BBQ is stored there.

Stairs lead to the 5 bedrooms, the master bedroom with a super king and en-suite shower room (NEW for 2024) one king & three twins. The Family bathroom has a bath, toilet, bidet & wash hand basin. There is also a separate shower room with a toilet & wash hand basin. Large airing cupboard off the generous landing.

Gas central heating throughout the house.

Outside there is ample parking, with lawned gardens to the front and rear of the house. Dinghies can be launched at all states of the tide from the shingle beach, larger sailing dinghies can be stored with Windsport – larger boats can be moored at the marina, both with prior arrangement.

Things to Note

A short stroll from the house is Café Mylor & Castaways Restaurant & Wine Bar. Boats, kayaks & paddle boards can be hired at Windsport. Marina berths and moorings can be booked with the Harbour Office.

For those who choose to stay on dry land, walk the coastline footpath around Trefussis headland to the waterside village of Flushing via Kiln Beach which is ideal for children. From here you can cross over to Falmouth on the foot ferry.

Alternatively, head along the footpath to Mylor Bridge with a superb village pub, the Lemon Arms, along with a good selection of shops.

The famous Pandora Inn is just a short 2-mile drive, located on the edge of Restronguet Creek, or make your way there by boat.

Changeover day is Friday.
