SETTING THE SCENE

What defines Falmouth more than anything else is the water surrounding the town. On one side there is the third largest natural harbour in the world, and on the other side, long sandy beaches with rock pools, all within walking distance of the town itself. There is a huge array of water sports on offer, from weekly yacht racing to gig rowing, paddle- boarding, diving, fishing and surf-lifesaving to name but a few. There are three yacht marinas, besides a whole harbour full of deep-water moorings too.

For over 150 years, between 1688 and 1850, Falmouth Packet ships filled the harbour as Falmouth became the information hub of the British Empire, second only to London. Now the town even has its own iconic museum right on the water’s edge, in the National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

Port Pendennis is a very quiet, exclusive gated development that sits around a central tidal inner marina. The marina village is within the heart of Falmouth town centre, discreetly tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet a stone’s throw from all of the day to day amenities, eateries, shops etc. In the opposite direction, a short walk leads to Falmouth’s picturesque seafront and the South West Coast Path wrapping around Pendennis Headland. These days Falmouth is also a busy university town with one of the country’s leading media and arts universities. A branch railway line operates from Falmouth to Truro, which is on the main Paddington-Penzance line with overnight ‘sleeper’ service.

HISTORY

Port Pendennis is a prestigious waterfront development in Falmouth, completed in 1988, featuring a range of high-quality homes surrounding a 70-berth yacht marina with direct access to Falmouth Harbour. Located beside the National Maritime Museum, the gated harbour village offers a blend of elegance, security, and unique architectural style.

THE TOUR

Occupying arguably one of the finest positions within the tranquil, gated marina of Port Pendennis, Maritime House is a beautifully reimagined waterside home that captures the essence of coastal living with elegance and ease. Bathed in natural light and facing south across the inner marina, it offers a rare combination of space, privacy, timeless style and comfort just moments from Falmouth’s captivating harbour front.

The entrance hall leads into a generous living and dining room, where wide bi-fold doors open onto a paved terrace overlooking the marina, extending the living space outdoors and creating a natural spot to unwind or entertain. The adjoining kitchen connects seamlessly, giving the ground floor an easy, sociable layout. Upstairs, the principal suite provides a peaceful retreat, complete with a dressing room, en-suite, and broad balcony with views across the water. The top floor includes three further bedrooms, one cleverly adapted as a bunk room, ideal for visiting family or guests. Finished with care and consideration throughout, Maritime House is both elegant and low-maintenance; an exceptional lock-up-and-leave home for those seeking relaxed, refined living by the sea.

STEP OUTSIDE

Tucked within one of Port Pendennis’ quietest corners, Campbeltown Way is a peaceful gated enclave of just a few homes. Maritime House sits elegantly halfway along, with brick-paved parking in front of the former garage, now a useful storeroom behind a remote-operated door, and a wood-effect path edged by neat planting leading to the front door.

To the rear, bifold doors open onto a sunny, south-facing terrace elevated above the marina walkway and framed by soft griselinia hedging. Sheltered by neighbouring walls, it offers privacy, tranquillity, and long hours of sunshine; a perfect spot for alfresco dining and for watching the light drift across the marina into the evening.

For those wanting to exercise off the water, there is a hard tennis court within the development.
