THE PROPERTY
The Old Customs Post, is a gem of a property. The house was built in around 1780 and is in the Flushing style with red brick window surrounds. This is a Dutch influence (Dutch workers are credited with having built the village) and named it after their home of "Vlissingen". The grey stone is 'Mylor slate'. As the name would suggest it was once the Customs Post and where the school is opposite would have been the port. So much character inside and out, including two musket slots which have been recently double-glazed and have deep, solid oak window-sills either side of the kitchen window. Many years ago muskets would have been pointing out at would-be pirates. Over the last year meany updates have taken place with no expense spared. New windows, heating system, shower room, garden glass canopy and electric car charge point are just a few updates! Inside there is a lovely kitchen to the front of the cottage, a gorgeous living room at the rear that leads through to a sunny dining area. Upstairs there are three bedrooms plus a stylish shower room. Outside there is plenty of parking which can be accessed via front and rear and the garden is just lovely for evening alfresco dining. One of our favourite properties and internal viewing highly recommended.
THE LOCATION
This appealing opportunity is so convenient for accessing all that Flushing has to offer with the primary school, shop, two pubs, waterside and slipway all just a few moments’ walk away. Flushing is a popular and highly 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. 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 whilst 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 whilst 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.
