THE PROPERTY
This exquisite short terrace comprises three Grade II listed houses which are some of the earliest and finest to be found in Flushing. Likely to have been built in the early 18th century, during the reign of Queen Anne or George I, they would have fronted the harbourside, been lived in by the wealthy and probably by ships’ captains. Numbers 31 and 31a Trefusis Road were formerly one property named Clinton House and are properly known today as Numbers 1 and 2 Clinton House respectively. Miss Mimi Lander bought both houses in 1962 and 1963, living in Number 1 from 1962 to 1978 and at Number 2 (31a) from 1978 to 2024, when she passed away. We are delighted to be selling this historic house with its delightful façade, three storeys of charming accommodation, plus cellar and lovely water views. Space inside is flexible for using to owners’ requirements with up to four bedrooms on the first and second floors and living space on the ground floor. Here, there is a kitchen and elegant reception room with timber floorboards and three fine multipane shuttered sash windows flooding southerly light. There are harbour views from the first and more especially the top floor, with its two double bedrooms looking over the water to Falmouth. The middle floor is a delight, accessing the walled courtyard and garden beyond, whilst providing a superb further living room or impressive main bedroom, looking to the harbour via three deep multipane sash windows. This room interconnects with another harbour facing room ideal as a study, dressing room or comfortable bedroom. The two room cellar is reached via a hatch from the kitchen; a space that feels every bit its 300 years of age. Whilst the house exudes charm and authenticity, it requires updating, renovation and expenditure to meet modern expectations. The sheltered rear walled courtyard is charming with its slate flagstone floor and old slate roofed outhouse with WC. From here, steep steps wend their way up to three further areas of terrace and garden, gathering fantastic harbour and waterfront views en route before culminating at a natural grassy wooded glade, about 160’ across, that blew us away with its peacefulness and mesmerising outlook.
THE LOCATION
2 Clinton House, number 31a Trefusis Road, lies in the heart of Flushing village, a few feet from the water’s edge and within about 100 yards of the village shop and slipway. The Royal Standard is the excellent village local for food and ales, and The Waterside and Harbour House restaurants are within a couple of minutes on foot. Flushing is a popular and desirable village, a short year round foot ferry ride across the harbour from Falmouth. The village has an active local community and good everyday facilities including the great village store, a primary school and church. Those in the know make their weekly pilgrimage to The Food Barn at Tregew less than a mile away; it’s a Saturday produce market, where over 20 stalls come together to offer scrumptious, sustainable produce. With its public slipway, Flushing is ideally placed for access to Falmouth harbour, the Carrick Roads and all tributaries of the River Fal, providing arguably some of the finest sailing waters available. There are a number of local sailing clubs and a gig rowing club with boathouse. Mylor harbour is about a mile and a half away and provides excellent facilities including a marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, chandlers and a full range of marine services. The village is a sociable and inclusive place, popular with those residing permanently and also loved by those requiring a home for holidays.
