THE PROPERTY
We are excited to be selling this fantastic home. Of the 33 Grade II listed properties in Flushing, The Sands, 24 Coventry Road must be one of the oldest and most historic. It is so called because centuries ago The Sands lay beside the water, with its origins as a humble ferryman’s cottage, plying trade between the banks of Falmouth and Flushing. Flushing stands on land that has been owned by the Trefusis family since the 12th Century. The village as a settlement dates back to the mid-17th century when John Trefusis engaged Dutch engineers to expand the village seawards, and build quays that would attract shipping. The village’s significance was greatly enhanced by the arrival of The Packet Service in 1688. By the late 1700s there were up to 40 Packet ships and most of their captains and crew lived in Flushing and the Trefusis family developed the village to accommodate this. The Sands today bears little resemblance to the original dwelling here. It has evolved in recent years into a delightful, spacious home, restored to exacting standards and expanded with no expense spared, to an inspired design, with work carried out by respected Marnick builders. Accommodation is flexible with its two staircases and four/five bedrooms including a bedroom suite on the ground floor. ‘Living’ space is delightful and sociable where the 24’ sitting room and inspiring studio flow beautifully out onto the granite terrace and walled garden, through French Doors. The bespoke kitchen/dining room is in duck egg blue, with an oil-fired Range and floors on the ground floor are porcelain tiled. The standards of presentation are exceptional, and all is comfortable and luxurious with three shower/bathrooms and a utility room. To the rear, facing South and West, is a wonderfully established and richly stocked walled garden with quality workshop at its end. All in all, an outstanding village home, of a quality and style that will likely impress the most discerning of home buyers.
THE LOCATION
The Sands lies in the heart of this most sought-after waterside village, beside the primary school and just a few paces from the harbour and slipway. Flushing is a popular and highly desirable place to live, 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 the primary school, church, two pubs, a general store as well as a quayside restaurant. The Food Barn at Tregew, about a mile away; it’s a Saturday produce market, where over 20 stalls come together to offer inspired and varied produce that is high in quality and encourages a supportive environment. There are doctor and dentist surgeries, a post office and newsagent, hairdressers, award-winning butcher's shop plus a fishmonger. The Village Hall has an extensive programme that includes exhibitions, a history group, keep-fit classes and monthly cinema showings. There are also several local clubs, tennis courts, a bowling green, playing fields, plus a regular bus service running to Falmouth and Truro. Small wonder that the Sunday Times has named Mylor Bridge as 'One of the Best Places to Live' and that it is one of the most desirable villages around. The village is located approximately 4 miles from the harbour town of Falmouth and 8 miles from the Cathedral City of Truro. 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.
