Characterful two-bedroom cottage near Padstow with garden and parking.
Two bedrooms, compact layout of approximately 496 sq ft
West Creek Cottage is a compact two-bedroom period home in a quiet hamlet, just a short drive or scenic walk to Padstow. Stone construction, exposed beams, sash windows and original floorboards give the house strong historic character and a cosy, cottage feel. A small patio garden and an off-street parking space add practical outdoor space, while a basement offers useful storage or limited development potential (subject to consent).
The house is small (about 496 sq ft) with low ceilings and compact rooms, so it will suit downsizers, a holiday-home buyer or someone seeking a low-maintenance rural bolt-hole rather than a large family. Heating is by electric room heaters and there is no assumed wall insulation in the granite walls — expect running-costs and possible improvement work to raise comfort levels and efficiency.
Important practical points: the property sits in a high flood-risk area, which will affect insurance and future repair risk. The cottage is listed as freehold, built before 1900, and while generally well presented it will benefit from fabric upgrades (insulation, double-glazing age unknown) and modern heating to reduce energy costs. Council tax is very low and the location benefits from very low crime and fast broadband for a rural spot.
For buyers attracted to character and location: the Saints Way and Camel Trail provide exceptional walking and cycling routes straight into Padstow, and nearby pubs and schools are within easy reach. Viewings are recommended for anyone wanting a characterful Cornish cottage with renovation potential and easy access to Padstow’s amenities.
