Split Cottage - Flushing Near Falmouth

The Property

Falmouth 4 miles. A quirky traditional Cornish fisherman's cottage in the pretty coastal village of Flushing, renowned for its warm climate, being sheltered between the banks of the Penryn river and Falmouth harbour. Features of this Flushing cottage include original slate floors, exposed beams and a woodburning stove. Combining character with modern decor and facilities, this Flushing cottage provides a cosy family retreat with one particularly quirky aspect - the original 18th century communal wash room now houses a modern and well-equipped kitchen/diner, approached by an external pathway from the cottage, and opening to an enclosed courtyard garden with pond. From this Flushing cottage there is easy access to some of the best sailing waters in the West Country, including the Helford river, Fal estuary and Falmouth Bay. In fact, guests can arrange day charter of a 42-foot ketch by prior arrangement with the owner. Just five minutes’ walk from the beach, and a stone’s throw from the glorious walking on the coastal path, this cosy Flushing cottage is bound to appeal to all those seeking a traditional Cornish holiday retreat.
