3 bedroom house for sale

Overview

New windows, heating system, shower room, garden glass canopy and electric car charge point are just a few updates

THE PROPERTYThe Old Customs Post, is a gem of a property. The house was built in around 1780 and is in the Flushing style with red brick window surrounds. This is a Dutch influence (Dutch workers are credited with having built the village) and named it after their home of Vlissingen. The grey stone is 'Mylor slate'. As the name would suggest it was once the Customs Post and where the school is opposite would have been the port. So much character inside and out, including two musket slots which have been recently double-glazed and have deep, solid oak window-sills either side of the kitchen window. Many years ago muskets would have been pointing out at would-be pirates. Over the last year meany updates have taken place with no expense spared. New windows, heating system, shower room, garden glass canopy and electric car charge point are just a few updates! Inside there is a lovely kitchen to the front of the cottage, a gorgeous living room at the rear that leads through to a sunny dining area. Upstairs there are three bedrooms plus a stylish shower room. Outside there is plenty of parking which can be accessed via front and rear and the garden is just lovely for evening alfresco dining. One of our favourite properties and internal viewing highly recommended.THE LOCATIONThis appealing opportunity is so convenient for accessing all that Flushing has to offer with the primary school, shop, two pubs, waterside and slipway all just a few moments' walk away.
