5 bed detached house for sale

Padstow PL28

An exceptional lifestyle property quietly positioned in a secluded wooded valley close to Padstow and the Camel Estuary. The Old Mill combines a beautifully restored former mill house with a striking contemporary extension, together with a detached holiday cottage and three bespoke glamping pods, all set within just under an acre of private grounds.

The principal house offers a compelling blend of period character and modern design. The original stone-built mill house retains its charm, while the architect-designed larch-clad extension with zinc roof introduces a bold contemporary element. These two parts are linked by a dramatic glazed entrance hall, which also provides access to the lower ground floor.

The contemporary extension forms the heart of the home, with an impressive 40-foot open-plan kitchen, dining and living space arranged to make the most of its setting. Sliding glazed doors open onto a large south-facing terrace, while French doors on the opposite side lead to a broad balcony overlooking the surrounding glade. A suspended wood burner provides a striking focal point.

On the lower ground floor are a utility room, cloakroom, generous walk-in storage room and an integral double garage, providing excellent practicality alongside the main living accommodation.

A short stroll from the house lies The Linhay, a charming detached holiday cottage with open-plan living accommodation, a ground floor bedroom and shower room, and a first-floor loft room currently used as a sleeping deck. It works equally well as guest accommodation, multi-generational living space or an established holiday let.
Further within the grounds are three bespoke glamping pods, carefully positioned for privacy within a wooded glade. Together with The Linhay, they provide excellent supplementary income potential and create a compelling lifestyle business opportunity.

Approached via a long private driveway, the property enjoys a rare sense of privacy and seclusion, while remaining less than a mile from the harbour, restaurants and shops of Padstow.
