SETTING THE SCENE

Occupying a truly exceptional position set beside its own private quay, Little Flushing enjoys one of Cornwall's most remarkable waterside settings. Facing south-west, the house commands breathtaking views across the world's third-largest natural harbour towards Falmouth's elegant Greenbank, home and the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.

Flushing is one of Cornwall's most enchanting waterside villages, quietly tucked away on the northern shores of Falmouth Harbour. Steeped in maritime history, its narrow lanes, colourful waterfront cottages and unhurried pace create an atmosphere that feels remarkably unchanged. Once home to many of Falmouth's celebrated Packet Ship captains, the village today combines a thriving community with an understated coastal lifestyle.

The village offers a welcoming selection of amenities, including a village store, primary school, busy sailing club, gig-rowing club, two popular pubs and a quayside café. Beautiful coastal walks lead through the historic Trefusis Estate and around the Penarrow Peninsula, while regular passenger ferries provide an easy connection to Falmouth.

The surrounding area has become one of Cornwall's foremost culinary destinations. Excellent dining can be found both in Flushing and nearby Falmouth, reinforcing Cornwall's reputation as one of Britain's leading 'foodie' destinations.

For those with a passion for the water, the Carrick Roads, River Fal and surrounding estuaries offer some of the finest sailing waters in the country. Nearby Mylor Yacht Harbour provides a full-service yacht marina, sailing schools, chandlery, restaurants and comprehensive marine facilities.

Falmouth is just a short passenger ferry ride across the harbour, offering an excellent selection of independent shops, galleries, beaches and cultural attractions, together with the internationally renowned University of Exeter and Falmouth University campuses. The cathedral city of Truro lies approximately 11 miles away, with mainline rail connection (including overnight 'sleeper' service) to London Paddington, while Cornwall Airport is around 30 miles away at Newquay.

THE TOUR

Representing a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire one of Cornwall's most distinguished waterfront homes, this remarkable residence occupies an unrivalled position on the shores of the enchanting village of Flushing. Rich in history, the property enjoys world-class panoramic views, its own private quay, boathouse and slipways, offering an exceptional combination of heritage, privacy and coastal living.

Approached via a private gated drive and screened by substantial boundary walls and mature trees, the house reveals itself as you descend the cobbled driveway. Its iconic chalky blush-pink rendered elevations beneath a beautifully thatched roof create an unforgettable first impression, long recognised as one of Cornwall's most romantic waterfront settings.

Inside, the house is every bit as enchanting as its coastal setting. Beautifully appointed with timeless elegance, the interiors celebrate the building's rich heritage while making the most of the uninterrupted harbour and sea views.

A welcoming reception hall with a wood-fired range radiates out to a series of warm reception rooms, alongside the kitchen complete with AGA and adjoining scullery. Also on the ground floor are a fifth bedroom and an integral garage. Upstairs, a charming split-level landing leads to four generous bedrooms, each enjoying glorious sea views, including a magnificent principal suite, together with a family bathroom. Elegant and wonderfully authentic, the interiors perfectly complement the exceptional character of this landmark coastal home.

STEP OUTSIDE

Set within just under an acre of beautifully established grounds, the property enjoys an extraordinary stretch of private deep-water frontage unlike almost any other on the Cornish coast. Sheltered by mature trees, established hedgerows and beautifully crafted stone walls, the gardens provide exceptional privacy while framing ever-changing views across the harbour.

At the water's edge, the private grade II Listed quay and slipways create an exceptional setting for boating, with direct access onto the waters of the Fal Estuary. Beyond the waterfront are generous areas of level lawn, beautifully retained stone walls, a charming boathouse with harbour views, and a traditional flagpole standing proudly on the quay.

Throughout, the gardens feel wonderfully peaceful and secluded, yet remain entirely connected to the water, with breathtaking panoramic views across the upper and lower reaches of the world's third-largest natural harbour. Quite simply, it is a waterfront setting of exceptional rarity and significance.
