A unique property within the highly desirable former fishing village of Flushing on the opposite shores to the port of Falmouth.

Situation:

A fabulous former church just off the village centre and only a moment’s walk from the water’s edge and slipway, in the much sought-after village of Flushing, fronting the Carrick Roads.

In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this proud and busy village is a conservation area well-served by its own primary school, church, two pubs, a quayside restaurant and a general store.  For those needing a wider range of amenities, or who perhaps need to commute on a daily basis, a regular passenger ferry runs across the estuary to the Falmouth harbour. 

By road the vibrant town of Falmouth is about 5 miles distant and here there is a huge range of shopping, schooling and health amenities together with a multitude of pubs and restaurants creating a busy a colourful year round community.  The railway station in the town links with the Cathedral City of Truro, which is about 10 miles away by road.

There is no outside space, other than a pedestrian path alongside, accessed from the street and leading to the kitchenette.  There is unrestricted on-street parking on Kersey Road.
