An Glas Bras - By Rowes Retreats

Description

An exceptional four-bedroom townhouse occupying one of Falmouth's most prestigious harbour-view positions. Beautifully designed throughout, this remarkable home combines panoramic views towards the Roseland Peninsula with extraordinary living spaces and spectacular tiered gardens. Sleeping eight guests and moments from the waterfront yet wonderfully private, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of Falmouth's finest homes in an unforgettable setting. 16 Dunstanville House is an extraordinary four-bedroom townhouse occupying one of Falmouth's most prestigious positions, elevated above the harbour with far-reaching views towards Flushing, St Mawes and the Roseland Peninsula. There are a handful of houses in Falmouth that feel genuinely special from the moment you arrive. This is undoubtedly one of them. Set within one of the town's historic harbour-view terraces, the house combines beautiful period architecture with an exceptionally considered contemporary interior. Original artwork by Cornish artists can be found throughout, adding to a home that feels connected to its surroundings while remaining calm, cohesive and effortlessly comfortable. At the heart of the house is the spectacular open-plan kitchen and dining area. Set beneath a vaulted ceiling, it's a natural gathering place for slow breakfasts, shared cooking and long dinners together. From here, the house flows seamlessly into a beautiful light-filled orangery with additional dining space before opening directly onto the patio and gardens. On warmer days, the entire area becomes one continuous indoor-outdoor living space, making it easy to drift between the house and garden throughout the day. The main living room occupies an elevated position overlooking the harbour, with sweeping views across the water towards Flushing, St Mawes and the Roseland Peninsula. A beautiful wood burner makes this an equally special space during the cooler months, whether you're settling in with a book, enjoying a film together or simply watching the boats come and go across the water. The house sleeps up to eight guests across four beautifully presented bedrooms, with generous super-king and king-size beds alongside a flexible zip-and-link room that can be arranged as a super-king on request. Outside, the gardens are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Beautifully established and arranged across several tiers, each level provides a different place to relax and a new perspective across the harbour. Immediately outside the house, the patio provides a natural extension of the living spaces. Continue through the garden and you'll discover lawned areas and further places to sit before reaching the elevated top terrace, where the views open fully across Falmouth Harbour and towards the Roseland Peninsula. As evening arrives and the light begins to change across the water, the garden really comes into its own. It's an extraordinary setting for long lunches, sunset dinners and evenings together overlooking the harbour. High-speed fibre-optic internet extends throughout both the house and garden, while a separate basement utility area provides additional practicality for longer stays and days spent exploring Cornwall's coastline. Despite its remarkable sense of space and privacy, the location places you moments from the very best of Falmouth. The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club sits just below the terrace, while the waterfront, historic High Street, restaurants, cafés and independent shops are all within easy walking distance. This listing provides exclusive use of the four-bedroom main house and its tiered gardens. A separate self-contained apartment occupies the ground floor of the building and is not included within this booking. For larger groups wishing to enjoy the entire property, including the additional self-contained accommodation, the complete five-bedroom house is also available to book separately. 16 Dunstanville House represents something genuinely rare: a remarkable home, an extraordinary outlook and one of Falmouth's finest locations brought together in a single property. For guests looking for somewhere truly exceptional to spend time together, this is Falmouth at its absolute best. Situated on one of Falmouth's historic harbour-view terraces, you'll be staying in one of the town's most prestigious and distinctive locations. Elevated above the water with the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club just below, the house enjoys spectacular views across Falmouth Harbour while remaining within easy walking distance of the heart of town. A short walk brings you to Falmouth's historic High Street and waterfront, where independent boutiques, artisan bakeries, galleries, cafés and award-winning restaurants line the vibrant streets surrounding the harbour. Falmouth is renowned for its thriving food scene, rich maritime heritage and lively calendar of events, including Falmouth Week, the International Sea Shanty Festival and the Oyster Festival. The town's sailing heritage is particularly present here, with the harbour below providing a constantly changing backdrop of working boats, yachts and racing throughout the summer months. Spend your days exploring the waterfront, visiting the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, discovering Pendennis Castle or relaxing on one of Falmouth's beautiful beaches. Regular ferries also cross the Fal Estuary, providing a wonderful way to explore Flushing, St Mawes and the surrounding coastline. With one of the world's great natural harbours below you and the best of Falmouth within walking distance, it's difficult to imagine a more special position from which to experience the town. This listing provides exclusive use of the four-bedroom main house and its private tiered gardens. A separate, self-contained apartment occupies the ground floor of the building and is not included within this booking. The apartment has its own independent living space and facilities. Guests staying in the main house retain exclusive use of the tiered garden and terraces. For larger groups, the entire property can also be booked as a five-bedroom home, combining the main house and self-contained ground-floor accommodation.
