Rose Cottage, 57 Trefusis Road, Flushing, Falmouth TR11 5TZ

THE PROPERTY

Made of stone with thick walls, this historic cottage has been modernised over the years and our vendor has it presented beautifully. There are two bedrooms currently, with the option of a third. A good sized kitchen/diner, a large sitting room and a separate lounge that leads out to the rear garden. A downstairs bedroom and shower room means those of a certain age who visit can enjoy the stay without the need to go upstairs where another bedroom and shower room await. This property must be viewed to be fully appreciated, although we have produced a detailed walk-through, talk-through video tour which we highly recommend you watch.   

THE LOCATION

Flushing 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 a 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.
