The combination of maritime heritage and modern creativity makes the town hugely popular. It is a constant carnival during the summer months, yet still energetic in the winter, offering great food festivals and sea shanties to keep all entertained. Many beautiful areas surround Falmouth, including Flushing, Mylor and the Helford River.

Chelsea House is located on Emslie Road, a quiet street immediately behind Falmouth' s seafront. Positions of this nature which provide panoramic views, peace and quiet and immediate proximity to some of Cornwall's best beaches, are few and far between and rarely available to acquire.
