The Property - Situated within one of Cornwall's most desirable areas, The Moat is a very special package indeed. This is the first time it has come to the market since construction in the 1970's and it really is an opportunity that must not be missed.

Designed and built by the current owners father, there really is nothing similar in the market. The thoughtful design conveys a spacious and light feeling throughout, with vaulted ceilings and Velux windows. It is cleverly positioned within its generous plot to maximise the impact of the far reaching river views and countryside beyond. The internal layout allows for a long corridor on its western aspect with multiple sliding glass doors benefiting from this outlook, leading to the terraced garden. The accommodation is well proportioned throughout, and in brief it comprises; Entrance room / study, entrance hallway, open plan kitchen, lounge, dining room, three double bedrooms (master with en suite), family bathroom and utility. Although some internals require modernisation, the house can be lived in immediately which gives prospective purchasers the chance to adapt the property to their own taste.

Externally, the origin of the name "The Moat" becomes apparent as a wooden bridge spans a pond which runs the length of the property and leads to the front door. Two tandem off road parking spaces are available on the drive in front of the detached double garage. The mature gardens are packed with an array of mature shrubs, plants and bushes which are well established. The boundaries are all natural and fully enclosed, perfect for free range pets and children. There are many points for sitting out and entertaining, all appreciating the impressive outlook. Its south-westerly angle provides afternoon and evening sun until it sets below the rolling hills in the distance.

Heating is currently provided by night storage heaters, although in the winter the wood burner heats a large proportion of the property. The Moat will appeal to many different buyers as it is equally suited for full time occupation, holiday letting or a second home.

Flushing - The village of Flushing owes its name to 17th century Dutch builders who came to construct piers and sea walls, finally settling there. The village subsequently became a place of style and refinement, popular with Captains of the Packet Ships. Today the village still retains that air of refinement, with its tastefully renovated period houses and narrow winding waterside street. The village claims to have one of the mildest climates in Britain held by its warm south westerly aspect.
Local facilities include a sub-post office, two public houses, restaurant on Flushing Quay, junior school, church and chapel and a regular passenger ferry provides direct and easy access to Falmouth on the opposite side of the river. There are also general stores in Flushing & Mylor which have incredible stock of all the essentials and more and are open 7 days a week. A farmers market is open on a Saturday morning and feast nights are on Wednesday evenings. Flushing is a real hive of activity during the summer months, with a small watersports hire shack, snack/crepe van on the beach and the Flushing Carnival & Regatta yearly.
The Fal Estuary is renowned as a sailing centre. There is an active local sailing club with further facilities at nearby Mylor Yacht Harbour as well as Restronguet and The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club across the water in Falmouth.
The Cathedral city of Truro is approximately 12 miles away and here is an excellent range of shopping, business and commercial facilities, including both private and state schools and main line railway link to London Paddington.

Falmouth - The historic port of Falmouth has undergone major redevelopment in recent years with huge investment and is now thriving. The town has an excellent range of everyday facilities including banks, building societies, restaurants, schools and colleges as well as a branch railway line providing regular access to Truro. The harbour and beaches are significant attractions of the town and since 2003 Falmouth has also been home to the National Maritime Museum. For sailing enthusiasts there is direct access to Carrick Roads, The River Fal and several yacht marinas close by. It also has its own university with a campus at Woodlane and Tremough.
