A rare Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Padstow, The White Hart combines historic charm with proven rental potential. Originating in the 16th century, the property comprises a three-bedroom main house plus a separate two-bedroom cottage (The Malt House), together totalling about 2,099 sq ft and a private sunny courtyard. The Malt House has been successfully let as holiday accommodation for over 25 years, offering immediate income potential.
Internally the house retains many original features: exposed beams, window seats, a large brick and slate fireplace and a 17th-century entrance. Living spaces are well-proportioned and bright, with gas central heating and double glazing. The courtyard is sheltered and low-maintenance, with slate flagstones, a glass garden room and a generous storage shed.
Practical considerations: the property is Grade II listed and lies within a conservation area, so alterations will be restricted and require consent. The stone walls are as-built with no assumed insulation, and some conservation-led maintenance may be needed. There is no parking included in the title, though nearby garages may be available to buy separately. The plot is small and the building’s age means ongoing preservation costs are likely.
This is suited to buyers seeking a character-rich home with an income stream, or investors wanting a central holiday-let in a high-demand seaside town. If you value historic character, proximity to the harbour and proven letting history — and are comfortable navigating listed-building requirements — this property offers a distinctive and commercially viable opportunity.
