3 Bedroom Detached House, Trefusis Road, Flushing, TR11

THE PROPERTY

It is about 30 years since we last sold this memorable waterside home and we are thrilled to do so again. Strand Cottage possesses outstanding attributes which we believe makes it unique within Flushing village. Strand Cottage has its roof replaced in 2023 but the house does require modernisation and has incredible scope to create a magical home by the water within this delightful village and community. Although just 50 yards from the village centre, pub and slipway, Strand Cottage is tucked away at the end of a quay without passing traffic. The property sits beside the harbour with water to two sides and the most amazing 38’ x 14’ quayside garden and the sunset seen from the property can be breathtaking. This area is surprisingly private, has steps to the water and a swinging davit to launch a dinghy. What a spot this is, providing the ultimate South and West facing terrace on which to relax, entertain and enjoy spectacular and ever-changing views to excite and uplift. Strand Cottage has three bedroom accommodation on three floors, on the ‘top’ floor with twin harbour-facing dormer windows. There are two ‘living’ rooms each with fantastic views: the first floor sitting room and ground floor kitchen/dining room opening out onto the quayside garden. There is a ground floor shower room and a first floor bathroom, together with a ‘gold dust’ integral garage and parking space outside. We are very excited about this one, knowing it to be a once in a lifetime chance. Offered with no onward chain.

THE PROPERTY AND ITS LOCATION

Strand Cottage sits in a unique South facing position beside the water yet tucked away, with no passing traffic, just 50 yards from the heart of Flushing village. It’s an incredible position with a quayside garden and spectacularly good and ever-changing harbour, river and waterfront views. 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 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.
