What is more the apartments are designed to make it easy for you to live independently with every home comfort.

You have the benefit of owning your own home, free from worries about external maintenance and gardening - and there is support if you need help with anything from the house manager or Tunstall on call.
The location
A perfect location for retirement living, located within walking distance of both Falmouth town, seafront, beaches and Falmouth's railway station. The town has a brilliant and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of shops, which include national chains, together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Falmouth's seafront, on the town's southern side, is about a mile away, with sandy beaches, Henry viii's Pendennis Castle and access to incredible walks and scenery along the South West Coastal Path. Nearby train stations at Falmouth Town provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth Docks are a major contributor to the town's economy and along with Falmouth University (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and Falmouth Marine School, specialising in traditional and modern boat building, marine engineering and environmental science, ensure an all year round and vibrant community. Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country; little wonder the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
