Ref: LCAA7178 3

Glensilva is located towards the very end of a no-through road in an exclusive and tranquil setting directly fronting Falmouth’s outer harbour. Flushing is a very attractive and unspoilt waterside village, its fishing quays fronting the eastern side of Falmouth’s inner harbour, one of the deepest natural harbours in the world. Local facilities include a sub post office/general store, two public houses, a popular restaurant on the quay, junior school, church and chapel. There is also a regular passenger ferry service providing direct and easy access to Falmouth, landing at the Prince of Wales pier. Sailing enthusiasts are well catered for with an active and popular local sailing club literally a few minutes’ walk from the property and there are neighbouring sailing clubs and associated facilities at Mylor, Restronguet and the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, across the water at Greenbank in Falmouth. The Fal estuary is justifiably renowned as a sailing centre and there are many miles of beautiful water within the estuary, including the creeks of the Truro, Fal and Percuil Rivers, providing some of the finest day sailing waters in the country. Deep water moorings are available, subject to application from Falmouth Harbour Master, and berthing facilities can be found at Falmouth Marina on North Parade and at Mylor Yacht Harbour. The cathedral city of Truro is approximately 12 miles away and provides an excellent range of shopping, business, commercial and schooling facilities, together with a mainline rail link to London Paddington (travelling time approximately 4½ hours).

PROPERTY Glensilva is an exceedingly distinguished late 19th Century waterfronting house enjoying frontage to and exceptional views out over Falmouth’s outer harbour – a scene of constant maritime activity – and it is no exaggeration to state that every vessel entering or leaving the harbour must sail past Glensilva’s view. The south easterly aspect out over the beautifully maintained and established gardens encompasses the mouth of the Fal estuary, St Anthony lighthouse and open sea beyond. A privileged waterside location enjoying enchanting water and town views.

Ref: LCAA7178 5

The house is approached through a gated entrance with the driveway providing parking for numerous cars and giving access to the detached garage block and workshop, which is to the rear of the house. Glensilva was, we understand, originally constructed in 1894 and has been in our clients’ ownership since 1997. The house is principally of stone construction under a slated roof with granite mullions and tall chimneys and of particular note is the tall stained glass window dominating the northern elevation and allowing plenty of light for the magnificent galleried dining hall. Spanning the entire width of the harbourside elevation is a huge raised paved terrace, facing out over the garden from which steps descend to the beautifully maintained established and mature gardens which again enjoy the captivating views. It is only upon entering the house that the style and character of the beautifully proportioned rooms can be fully appreciated. From the entrance vestibule, with cloak room off, double doors open into a spectacular 24’8” x 18’ galleried dining hall with 25’ high ceiling and attractive turning staircase ascending to the first floor. There are two further comfortably proportioned reception rooms together with a well fitted kitchen breakfast room and utility room. A second staircase ascends from the utility room to a separate first floor dual aspect study.

From the main galleried landing there are three good sized bedrooms facing south over the harbour and enjoying the views with the master bedroom also having the advantage of a well appointed dressing room and en-suite bath and shower room. A family bathroom and separate wc serve the other two bedrooms. A door from the main landing gives access to a back landing from which access is given to a fourth bedroom and the staircase continues to the second floor. The top floor of the house currently provides three further bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchenette although our clients have had plans drawn and have previously obtained planning permission for the total redesign of this whole area. The plans are available for inspection. The gardens, which extend to about 1 acre are beautifully well stocked and have a gate with steps leading down to the beach.
