THE LOCATION Trevissome is an unspoilt riverside hamlet, across the water from Falmouth and about one and a half miles from Flushing and M ylor Bridge villages. The lane from

Barton House leads down to water fronting Trevisomme House - a fine Georgian country house, once owned by Captain Dowman, owner of the Cutty Sark.

Trevissome House provides marine services, a slipway and mooring facilities - a wonderful facility on one's doorstep and just a few minutes' walk away. The

beautiful estuary path at Trevissome passes sailors' creek, a half mile walk to the pretty village of Flushing. Flushing owes its name to 17th century Dutch builders

who came to construct piers and sea walls and settled there. The village subsequently became a place of style and refinement where the captains of the Packet

Ships and their families lived. Today the village still retains that touch of class with its tast efully renovated 17th and 18th century houses and narrow winding

waterside streets. It also enjoys a sunny south westerly aspect and is reputed to have one of the mildest climates in Britain . Flushing is a popular and highly

desirable waterside village, a short year-round foot ferry ride across the harbour from Falmouth. The village has an active local community and good everyday

facilities such as a primary school, church, two pubs, a general store as well as a quayside restaurant. Flushing, with its p ublic slipway, 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 wa ters 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. Flushing Arts group has a varied calendar of events and wo rkshops whilst the annual village

pantomime provides opportunities for amateur dramatics and fun! The cathedral City of Truro is approximately 11 miles away and provides an excellent range of

shopping and schooling facilities together with a mainline rail link to London Paddington

THE PROPERTY Barton House was converted about 40 years ago, from a single storey barn into the impressive

house it is today. The fabulous location is one thing, but it is the house, its orientation and

glorious garden that makes this an absolute gem. Accommodation is nicely proportioned

with four double bedrooms, the main en suite, plus family bathroom upstairs. Each of these

bedrooms has natural views over the garden, fields and foreshore towards Falmouth Harbour

and town to Pendennis Castle and Point and out to sea. Downstairs, living space is sociable,

comfortable and thoroughly appealing with access from the sitting room and the

kitchen/dining room, out to the south facing terrace and garden. The kitchen/dining room is

exceptional; hand built by a local specialist company, with electric Aga, granite or marble

floors and worktops and integrated 'Siemens' appliances. The dining area has wraparound

built-in seating perfect to accompany a farmhouse kitchen table. The beamed sitting room

has windows or doors to three aspects and a fireplace with quality stove. All is practical too:

there's a large utility room, a boot room plus cloakroom/WC downstairs, in addition to the

main bedroom en suite and the family bathroom. A 'Worcester' oil-fired boiler fuels radiator

central heating and pressurised hot water supply. The garden is an absolute treat, full of

colour and interest and of a very good size, all remarkably private and backing on to fields

and countryside. Within the garden is a large cedar workshop, studio, perfect to work from

home, for hobbies or overspill accommodation. In addition, there is a summerhouse and a

20' workshop. Access from the lane is over the courtyard which is owned by Barton House and

where there is space to park several cars.
