Enjoy a touch of luxury in this bright and airy converted property in Little Petherick, boasting four bedrooms, no less than two lounge areas and direct access to the water from its garden. It won’t be hard to relax here and, as everyone knows that dogs are part of the family, up to two canine chums can join you! Suiting either one or two families or an extended group, this is a brilliant place to bring your kayaks or paddleboards. And with perennially popular Padstow 3.5 miles away, it’s a great base away from the tourist hurly-burly.
Former boathouse it may be, but it’s now a pretty cottage in a lovely setting overlooking Little Petherick Creek, upstream from the River Camel. Downstairs is largely open-plan with a generous double-aspect living room flooded with light plus a cosier snug area complete with exposed stone wall and wood burner for tired hounds to luxuriate by. There’s a dining area here too as well as another table in the expansive kitchen which is so beautiful complete with AGA that you’ll be fighting over chef duty! Two staircases at either end of the house take you to the elegant sleeping quarters which comprise two doubles, one twin and one bunk bedroom – all in calming tones.
To the front of the house is an enclosed terrace with outdoor furniture, a BBQ and creek views. Opposite the house a spacious lawned garden provides direct gated access to the creek, which is brilliant for kayaking and paddleboarding, subject to tides. So, you can spend time messing about on the river and relaxing in a choice of comfortable seating areas inside this beautiful house. For forays out, there are amazing beaches within easy reach or how about a jaunt to Padstow for fish and chips?
