Description

THE PROPERTYMade of stone with painted render and thought to have been built in the mid 1800’s. Cottage in style and feel but light and larger than expected. Accommodation is arranged over three floors with the ground floor home to a large through room with kitchen/diner and sitting room which leads through to a further lounge and shower room. The first floor is home to two double bedrooms and a lovely bathroom and finally on the second floor there is yet another double bedroom with en-suite facilities. The rear garden is literally waterside…..great and expansive views over towards Falmouth and up and down the river. Granite steps from the rear garden lead down to the water and a Derrick boat lifter is very useful. This property has been a successful holiday let for many years and now being sold with no onward chain.THE LOCATIONFlushing owes its name to 17th century Dutch builders who came to construct piers and seawalls and settled there. The village subsequently became a place of style and refinement where the captains of the Packet Ships and their families lived. Today the village still retains that touch of class with its tastefully renovated 17th and 18th century houses and narrow winding waterside streets. It also enjoys a sunny south westerly aspect and is reputed to have one of the mildest climates in Britain. Flushing is a popular and highly desirable waterside village, with a short, year round, foot ferry ride across the harbour from Falmouth and a local bus service linking from Falmouth to the University and Truro. The village has an active local community and good everyday facilities such as a primary school, church, two pubs, a general store as well as a quayside restaurant. Flushing, with its public slipway, is ideally placed for access to Falmouth harbour, the Carrick Roads and all tributaries of the River Fal, providing arguably some of the finest sailing waters available. There are a number of local sailing clubs and a gig rowing club with boathouse. Mylor harbour is about a mile and a half away and provides excellent facilities including a marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, chandlers and a full range of marine services. The village is a sociable and inclusive place, popular with those residing permanently and also loved by those requiring a home for holidays. Flushing Arts group has a varied calendar of events and workshops, the international classical music Concerts hosted by Carrick Concerts are based in the village and the annual village pantomime provides opportunities for amateur dramatics and fun! The cathedral City of Truro is approximately 11 miles away and provides an excellent range of shopping and schooling facilities together with a mainline rail link to London Paddington.
