Lower Deck Falmouth

Stay in part of an historic property in Falmouth, The Lower Deck is a wonderful apartment set within an historic Grade II listed former sea captain’s residence. The property dates from around the 1800 and was a substantial home for a prominent sea captain based at Falmouth, sailing tall ships to many of the trade routes around the world. The property is a 5-minute walk to Falmouth town centre and Discovery Quay where the National Maritime Museum is located. Also a short stroll away is the popular Gyllyngvase beach and café.
The accommodation has been refurbished and has been transformed into a surprising and spacious holiday property set over one level. From the pretty front garden a path leads to the side steps down to the main entrance door. You enter to a tastefully decorated welcoming and spacious living room with its feature fireplace alcove, book shelving, Smart TV and comfy sofas. This is the perfect room to relax after a day exploring Falmouth and Cornwall. From the living room there is an inner hall which has been designed to use the space with a creative bedroom area for a double bed. There is an under stairs storage idea for hanging space plus a clever screen to provide some privacy. Positioned to the front of the property is a large kitchen/dining room perfect for starting the day with breakfast or to create an evening dining for two. Fitted with a modern style kitchen complete with electric oven and hob, fridge and freezer, plus a dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. One of the main features is a fantastic piece of history with a large original Cornish range once used by the cook and servants for the Captain. Another unique part of the apartment is a stunning luxury period style bathroom perhaps previously used as a wine cellar. The arched brick ceiling creates the perfect atmosphere when taking a candle lit soak in the bath. This was fitted in keeping with the character of the property and yet with a modern twist to include a large shower. Outside at the front of the property is a private seating area with table and chairs set within a variety of potted plants and flowers. This is another space to relax and enjoy your stay at the Lower Deck.
