Summary - Chapel Lodge, Ruthys Lane PL28 8AZ
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Character-packed two-bed detached near Padstow harbour with parking and development potential..
Extremely large total area (approx. 3,434 sq ft)
Chapel Lodge is an unusually spacious two-bedroom detached property tucked into the heart of Padstow’s old town, offering over 3,400 sq ft overall and off-street parking for 2–3 cars. The layout is reversed: the main living space is on the first floor and benefits from a vaulted, open-plan kitchen/living area with exposed A-frame beams, large dual-aspect windows and a stone fireplace that give real character and light. Both ground-floor bedrooms have en suite facilities and oak joinery throughout adds warmth and authenticity.
The property includes a rustic converted outbuilding/barn that presents additional living or workspace and further development potential, subject to consents. Practical features include mains gas boiler with underfloor heating, double glazing installed after 2002 and excellent mobile signal with fast broadband — useful for remote working or letting. The location places you a short walk from the harbour, ferry to Rock, beaches and the Camel Trail for walking and cycling.
There are important points to note: the house is an older build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated, so energy performance may be below modern standards and further insulation work could be needed. Flood risk is assessed as medium — buyers should investigate insurance costs and local flood history. The wider area records higher deprivation and an ageing rural demographic, which may affect local services and long-term resale dynamics.
This house will suit someone looking for a character-rich, substantial home in a highly desirable coastal town — ideal as a permanent residence or spacious holiday base. It offers immediate comfort combined with clear scope for improvement or adaptation, but buyers should budget for possible retrofit and consider flood mitigation and insurance when assessing total running costs.
