4 Waters Edge

This first-floor apartment sits right on the waterfront of the Penryn River, looking out across shifting views of the water with the town of Falmouth stretching along the riverside. Couples and small families seeking a relaxed coastal break will find it well placed to explore both the river and the surrounding south Cornwall coastline.

Gyllyngvase Beach is 1.5 miles along the coast, known for its gently curving shoreline and clear water, where stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking are popular, with equipment available for hire on the beach as well as at Swanpool and Maenporth (2 and 4 miles respectively). Pendennis Castle (2 miles) stands on Pendennis Point, surrounded by lush gardens with views along the coast, and Castle Beach sits at the foot of its headland.

From Falmouth's harbour, a ferry crosses the water to the Roseland Peninsula with its unspoiled coves and turquoise waters. Sliding patio doors open from the open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area onto the balcony, flooding the space with natural light and wide river views.

The living area is comfortably arranged with a three-seater sofa and an armchair facing a Smart TV, with a Sonos Bluetooth speaker for music. An island breakfast bar with three bar stools sits alongside the fully equipped kitchen, while a wooden dining table with four boucle-upholstered chairs provides a more formal dining setting.

The master bedroom looks out across the river, with a king-size bed, a built-in wardrobe, and two bedside cabinets. Its en-suite shower room is fitted with a shower, heated towel rail, and WC.

A second bedroom has a king-size zip-and-link bed that can also be configured as two singles, with two bedside cabinets alongside. The family bathroom completes the apartment.

The private balcony overlooks the river and is furnished with a wooden dining table, four chairs, and a rattan storage box for cushions, framed by a glass surround. A waterside seating area and locked bike storage are shared with other guests in the development.
