SLEEPING 6 - 8 people

The Point is a delightful house in the peaceful and charming village of Flushing. The garden is terraced leading down to the beach. There are extensive views over Falmouth Harbour to the south, the Penryn River to the west and eastward is the open sea.

Whilst convalescing in Falmouth from wounds received during the First World War, architect Cecil Burns drew up plans to construct The Point - a spectacular 1920's villa built on the headland at the very end of Flushing village. Cecil's architects practice is still going strong in Tunbridge Wells, & three generations later The Point remains very much a part of the family.

Commanding unrivalled views across the water towards Falmouth and out towards St Anthony's lighthouse, The Point will make any holiday one to be remembered for many years to come.

The Point sleeps six in three bedrooms, with a comfortable double sofa-bed for occasional use. The master bedroom has a king-sized double bed, the second bedroom has twin beds, and the third bedroom is a double. It has two lounges, one formal and one a fresh new addition to the property, and a spacious modern kitchen. It has two bathrooms, and a further wc.

Every room has extensive sea views towards Falmouth & out to sea that are quite simply mesmerising. Many hours can be spent watching the comings & goings in the busy harbour from The Point.

The gardens are a particular feature at The Point. To the side of the property is a secluded terraced area perfect for alfresco dining. The upper area of the garden is laid to lawn with flower beds which lead down to a decked dining area with spectacular views across the bay, over to Falmouth Maritime Museum and the marina, and onwards out to sea.

The Point even has it's own private access to the beach, via steps at the bottom of the garden! The beach is a mixture of sand and shingle and is perfect for playing with the kids or just relaxing. There is a small area of grass further along the beach suitable for picnics. There is even a mooring for those who choose to arrive by boat!

Private parking for two cars is available outside the house. There are fantastic walks from The Point around the headland to Mylor Yacht Harbour, and Flushing Beach is dog-friendly all year.

Many Cornish villages have become over crowded with tourists, but Flushing is much quieter, even during peak season, and it still benefits from a strong and vibrant community. It has two pubs serving great food, a bistro / café on the quayside, and a well-stocked general store. A passenger ferry runs a regular service between Flushing and Falmouth. It also connects with the ferries to St Mawes, Mylor, Trelissick and Truro. In summer the Fal River boats offer trips to the gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan, and onwards to Truro. A local water taxi service also runs around the bay.
