The Location

Located along a private road on the immediate outskirts of the centre of Flushing village, one of the most sought-after villages along the entire south coast of Cornwall, by virtue of its sheltered, south-facing aspect across Falmouth's picturesque and active harbour.

‘Downside’ occupies a particularly favourable position, benefiting from being just a short walk from the centre of the village, yet ‘tucked away’ along a private road, just off St Peters Road.

Village amenities include two public houses (one being recently renovated gastropub, ‘Harbour House’), a highly regarded primary school, sailing club and regular passenger ferry to the thriving town of Falmouth, which provides a full range of shopping and commercial facilities.

Picturesque harbourside and rural walks lead to nearby Mylor Yacht Harbour and beyond to the village of Mylor Bridge and the thatched public house, 'The Pandora Inn', at Restronguet Passage. The port of Falmouth is approximately five miles distant by road, and the cathedral city of Truro, the county's retailing, commercial, administrative, health and educational centre, is approximately ten miles distant.
