2 bed cottage for sale

17 Trefusis Road, Flushing TR11

The location

Flushing is a popular and desirable waterside village, a short year round foot ferry ride across the harbour from Falmouth. 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. With its public slipway, Flushing 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. 'Seasalt' is located at the end of a terrace on Trefusis Road, literally a stones throw from the water and next to the public quay,

the property

It is not often we can confidently label a property 'one of a kind', but with Seasalt, it feels absolutely appropriate to do so. Originally, the grand frontage of a large house backing into its neighbours but since divided into individual properties, this is now effectively an end terrace double fronted cottage with so much to offer and please. The delightful accommodation is filled with light at every turn, thanks to a multitude of large (mostly sash) windows to front and side - giving fabulous water views over the river to Falmouth. To the ground floor is a great sized kitchen and dining room, double bedroom and very useful downstairs shower/wet room; the stairs turn from the entrance hallway, rising to the first floor and opening out into a stunning living room enjoying the best of the views, which also provides access to the master bedroom complete with a large en-suite. There is so much character and charm here, a unique and enjoyable cottage which also benefits from a small garden area to the rear, a shed and outbuilding (perfect for kayak or dinghy storage), oil central heating, and a generous loft space with an electric access ladder. Internal viewing highly recommended!
