Location
An outstanding renovated Georgian house in the waterside village of Flushing with exceptional water views and extensive gardens.
The property was reputed to have been built circa 1770 for Captain Kempthorne a packet ship captain with a long and distinguished history of naval service. It is a double fronted grade 2 listed Georgian house in an elegant terrace of similar properties and enjoys far reaching views across the water to Falmouth from both the house and garden
The property has recently undergone significant refurbishment and extension to create a beautiful family home with an open plan kitchen/dining reception space, whilst retaining its original heritage and elegance. At the front of the property the internal accommodation follows the traditional Georgian layout of a central hallway with reception rooms leading off to the right and left, both with wood burning stoves and bay windows, whilst the new extension at the rear has created a lovely modern open plan kitchen dining room with doors leading out to the newly landscaped sunny courtyard garden. Off the kitchen is the utility room with access to loft storage over a further store room accessed from the courtyard garden. Also, on the ground floor is a downstairs cloakroom and a large inner hallway/reception area with staircase to first floor. From the inner hallway is a door to a large store room with access to the courtyard garden and an integrated side alleyway that leads back to the front of the property.
On the first floor are two bedrooms, family shower room and the main reception room (or magnificent sixth bedroom) and on the second floor a further three bedrooms and family bathroom with walk-in shower and separate bath. Off the second-floor landing is access to the spacious loft providing ample storage if required.
Exterior/Gardens/Workshop - The house is set back from the road by an enclosed front garden. At the rear is a large courtyard garden with rain fed pond and steps up to the upper garden. The upper garden has recently undergone considerable hard landscaping with Cornish stone walling, various paths and flower beds leading up to the top terrace where you can enjoy the expansive views across the Penryn River to Falmouth and Falmouth Harbour. Adjacent to the top terrace is a very useful garden shed/summer house with power, light and water.
The separate studio/workshop accessed from the rear courtyard garden is a lovely space with plenty of light from the sky light, part glazed stable door and window. There is power, light and heating, work benches and a mezzanine storage area above.
