Summary - 17a, Church Lane PL28 8AY
2 bed 2 bath House
Central Old Town location with private courtyard and two parking spaces.
Two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes
Tucked into Padstow’s Old Town, Stowaway Cottage is a well-presented two-bedroom end-terrace that combines coastal character with contemporary finishes. The house is arranged over two floors with a bright open-plan living area, a wood-burning stove, and French doors that lead to a private enclosed courtyard — a low-maintenance outdoor space ideal for al-fresco dining. Two allocated parking spaces directly outside are an uncommon and valuable feature in central Padstow.
Currently operated successfully as a holiday let, the property offers proven rental appeal and immediate income potential. The kitchen is modern with integrated appliances and skylight, and both bedrooms are double-sized with fitted storage. Practical conveniences include double glazing and excellent broadband and mobile coverage, supporting holiday bookings and remote working.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the property has an EPC rating of E, relies on electric/room heaters with a wood-burning stove as supplemental heating, and the construction date (late 1970s–early 1980s) suggests only partial cavity insulation. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the plot is small, limiting garden expansion. These factors may affect running costs and insurance and could be targets for improvement if retained long-term.
For investors the combination of central location, parking and a documented letting track record is compelling. For purchasers seeking a tidy coastal home, the cottage is ready to occupy while offering straightforward upgrade opportunities — insulation, energy improvements and targeted refurbishments could enhance comfort and lower bills.
