Church LanePadstow, Cornwall, PL28 8AY

The modernisation of Captains Cottage has been thoughtfully and stylishly carried out to allow maximum use of space while retaining the charm and atmosphere of a traditional cottage.

The entrance into the kitchen reveals that this is an old property which has been treated with modern furnishings and fittings to create a very comfortable interior. Exposed stone walls, flagstones and recesses set off the high-quality décor, kitchen units, integrated appliances that include two Miele ovens and a Bora hob with drag down extractor, wall tiles, lights and the enlarged window overlooking Church Lane, to create a beautiful, practical room. A dining table across the window seat can accommodate eight and there is plenty of very useful storage space.

Turning stairs, of a slightly wavy tendency (one wonders if a tipsy captain made it safely to the first floor) are naturally lit by a staircase window.

On the first floor is a shower room and a large double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and deep storage cupboard. Its window seat gives a nice view over the lane below. Opposite is another large double bedroom, currently a twin room, with en suite bathroom and with a view over the courtyard garden.

Up two steps to a beautifully appointed sitting room with dark oak floor and inset LED flame effect remote controlled fire. A built in 'Art TV' is set above the fireplace. A large window allows plenty of natural light.

The staircase turns to the second floor, again with a frosted window for complete privacy.

The principal bedroom is here, with a very modern en suite, good storage and a wide window seat. It overlooks the lane, but from the shower room there is a view of the church tower and the woods beyond.

There are radiators throughout the cottage. Pale carpets and light décor give a very welcoming atmosphere.

The gated entrance leads into a under croft beyond which is a paved courtyard with ample space for a summer kitchen, with a mains gas barbecue and a gas fire pit and an area with a large table and benches. There is a corner bench seated area. A rockery and raised planters have well-tended flowers and an olive tree. There is a fully integrated utility/laundry room and WC opposite the front door, two storage cupboards off the courtyard, one with light and power, a large cupboard storing the boiler and water tank beside the car port and an electric vehicle charger.
