3 bedroom detached house for sale

1 Church Lane is a 1960's detached house which has been somewhat neglected in recent years and is now an outstanding prospect in need of a little work to restore to its former glory.

The position of number 1 is an exciting one, set up above Flushing village, facing south overlooking the church and with spectacular and varied 180 degree views across the river and harbour to Falmouth town and waterfront, from Penryn to the Maritime museum and Falmouth bay beyond and in the distance.

Flushing is a popular and sought after waterside village with active community and everyday facilities such as Primary school, Church, two pubs, general store as well as Quayside restaurant. The village is popular both to reside in and for those requiring a home for holidays.

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 the finest sailing waters available. There are a number of active local sailing clubs including those at Flushing, Restronguet, Mylor and several in Falmouth. Mylor Harbour is just a mile and a half from Coventry Road and provides excellent facilities including a marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, chandlers and a full range of marine services.
 

Tucked away, Church Lane is light and bright within, providing three bedrooms, two of which face the spectacular views. There are separate sitting and dining rooms, plus a sun lounge and fitted kitchen with pantry. The bathroom with separate wc is upstairs, with a wc down.

Windows are uPVC double glazed and an oil fired boiler fuels radiator central heating and hot water supply.

The garden is overgrown and relatively private with a sectionally built single garage and room to park a car on the drive.

Offered with vacant possession, 1 Church Lane presents a rare chance to own and enjoy a home in this exciting spot and great village.

Number 1 was built in the 1960's and has of course enjoyed right of access, both vehicular and pedestrian, ever since. The lane serving 1, 2 and 3 has recently been relaid in tarmacadam. The fair proportion of cost for this work is disputed and unresolved between our vendor and the owner of 3 Church Lane, who instructed the work, and as such a portion of the access to number 1 has been prepared and not finished. Prospective buyers will be responsible to resolve this situation and negotiate terms with the owners of number 3 who are receptive and keen for a resolution.
