House For Sale £1,100,000
Elegant family home beautifully presented in a pretty village setting with estuary views
Description
A traditional family house of honey-coloured local stone and slate built over four floors with pleasing symmetry, modernised in recent years with high quality fittings and replacement sash windows complementing the original style.
Enter through a wide front door set into a pillared portico, fitted with bespoke stained glass, into a bright, oak floored hall. The double aspect drawing room stretches the whole width of the house, with patio doors opening onto the front garden and a door at the opposite end of the room to a sheltered patio. With an inset wood burner, radiators and wooden floor, this is a pleasant, comfortable room, elegant yet cosy.
Across the hall is the kitchen, also double aspect, with the dining area opening onto the south facing front garden. However, the view from the working end of the kitchen is of Padstow’s landmark beacon and Rock across the water. Tastefully coloured fitted units, an electric Aga and an insert gas fire create a lovely atmosphere, while for added convenience there is a very well equipped, fitted utility room, a cloakroom with wc, coat and boot area and the boiler cupboard (with a new water tank).
Back to the hall, where the elegant staircase turns past a large half landing window to the first floor and a large family bathroom with independent shower and freestanding roll top bath, positioned to enjoy the view. Next is a double bedroom overlooking the front garden and open farmland to the south, with good storage space. The natural light from two south facing windows is especially delightful in the principal en suite bedroom, with adjoining shower room. The third double bedroom is also naturally light and has a window seat from which to enjoy views to the west and across the estuary.
Stairs turn to the second floor alongside a tiny stained-glass window and open into the top floor, currently a storage space, but versatile with sufficient ceiling height to accommodate a home office or bedroom as there is an en suite shower room. From this level the view opens out quite spectacularly.
The ground floor apartment is entered by its independent front door straight into the open plan space, also light and very conveniently appointed with a double bedroom, single bedroom, seating area with two sofas and a fitted kitchen with appliances that have hardly been used. The shower room has a heated towel rail, the living area has a gas fire and the whole apartment seems cosy and easy to enjoy.
Throughout the house decorative details such as wood panelling, blinds, shutters, colour schemes and practical features including double glazed replacement windows, radiators, fireplaces and wood flooring are of consistent quality and taste. The period feel of the original house is present but overlaid with a modern treatment that ensures comfort.
The front façade reveals an unexpected architectural detail in the crenelated parapet roofline above the side entrance into the cloakroom and utility area. A slate path connects with a patio at the opposite side of the house, where there is also a secure shed and woodstore. Mature shrubs and hedging screen the garden from outside view and railings surround the property for the safety of children and pets. An ornate gate opens onto a pavement that goes down the hill into the village. Immediately opposite the gate are the post box and bus stop.
Location
On the road from Wadebridge to Padstow, Little Petherick is a pretty village with notable Victorian architecture such as the parish church and some large houses including Petherick House. Little Petherick Creek is a tributary of the River Camel.
Footpaths from Petherick House lead across fields to the creek, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way. The magnificent Atlantic coastline is a short distance away with at least seven stunning beaches within easy reach. Unsurprisingly surfing, sailing and water skiing are popular sports as is golf with a choice of championship courses, at Trevose and St Enodoc.
For centuries Padstow has been a significant port and is well known in its beautiful setting at the mouth of the Camel estuary, with fishing and boatbuilding still very active. Added to the natural beauty are the excellent restaurants, the National Lobster hatchery, the Seafood cookery school and colourful cultural traditions that attract a worldwide audience. It also provides for everyday requirements with a primary school, the historic church, a supermarket and a range of independent shops. Wadebridge is also a popular town for shopping and provides good leisure activities such as the sports centre, the cinema and bike hire for the trail. It also has the nearest senior school.
