Period granite cottage with garden, close to Padstow — requires flood-risk precautions and insulation work.
Three double bedrooms, master with en-suite
Ball Cottage is a large, characterful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Little Petherick, set within a quiet hamlet above the River Camel. The house retains period features — beamed ceilings, sash windows, exposed floorboards and granite walls — arranged over varying levels that create a cosy, cottage atmosphere. The layout includes a lounge, dining room, cottage kitchen, utility, games room, master en-suite and an outside basement store. An enclosed rear cottage garden with patio completes the plot.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband, and affordable council tax. The location offers excellent leisure access: local walks, the Saints Way, and easy driving to Padstow (c.2 miles) and Wadebridge (c.6 miles). Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach, making the house suitable for family life or a coastal holiday let.
Material drawbacks are important to note. The property sits in a high flood-risk area and has no mobile signal on site. The granite walls appear to lack insulation, the glazing is secondary only, and ceiling heights and some room sizes are low/small. The plot is small and the cottage will suit buyers who accept limited outdoor space and may wish to invest in flood resilience and insulation improvements.
Overall, Ball Cottage offers strong character and location appeal for buyers seeking a traditional Cornish cottage near Padstow, but it requires considered investment for modern comfort and flood mitigation. Early viewing is advisable to assess suitability and any adaptation needs.
