An enticing period property with a chic, contemporary finish; this Cornish retreat is tucked away at the heart of picture-postcard Padstow. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom townhouse is just 500 metres from the town’s vibrant harbour and famous seafood eateries. Explore the delightful fishing port, browse its independent shops, and ponder in its galleries. Catch the ferry across the River Camel to Rock, where you can swim from the spectacular sandy beach. Venture 1 mile from the cottage to St George’s Cove, which is another favourite with those who love paddling and picnicking, or 2.5 miles to beautiful Trevone Bay. Harlyn Bay is just 3 miles from the cottage, while Treyarnon Bay, which is popular for surfing and rock pooling, is 5 miles away. Hire bicycles in Padstow and pedal out together along the mostly traffic-free, 12-mile-long Camel Trail, which follows an old railway line and captures estuary views.
Step into this smart Edwardian abode to find it offers immaculate interiors and a timeless appeal. Featuring a stylish grey and white finish, with splashes of colour, it blends original features with modern standards of comfort seamlessly. Pause on the pew in the tiled entrance hall to remove your walking boots or beach shoes, then head on through to the welcoming, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the right. Gather on the grey sofas for movie nights in front of the Smart TV. Play games here or around the table at the other end of the room. Discover you have everything you need in the kitchen to help prepare the fresh Cornish seafood you have sourced, then call everyone to dine. Brew fresh coffee in the machine and perch at the breakfast bar with the French doors open on fine days. Also downstairs is a family shower room, where you can rinse sandy toes after days on the beach. Climb the stairs to the family bathroom, which has another shower, as well as a bath. Your three exquisitely finished bedrooms with luxury linen and towels are also here – these include a king-size, a double, and a twin, with views out towards the estuary.
Outside, dine out on the deck as often as possible. Watch the children and their four-legged friend as they play on the luxury Astroturf. See the sun sparkling on the estuary on fine summer days. Parking for this property is on-street and subject to availability.
