The Property

Originally built for the Prideaux-Brune family, Lancefield House is a detached Grade ii-listed historic property that has been meticulously renovated by its current owners. Finished with intricate attention to detail, this Regency-style home blends contemporary features while retaining its original character and charm. The property is arranged over three floors, with the benefit of a large basement, which acts as a wine cellar and store, with the potential to be further enhanced. Elevated on its plot, Lancefield House enjoys estuary views looking across a magical and established garden expertly planted with flowering perennials, shrubs and trees that provide year-round interest. Gravelled paths cut through to tranquil seating areas, and a small pond, while closer to the house, a patio terrace with an arched pergola provides a fantastic vantage point over Padstow. To the rear, the property overlooks the Deer Park, the herd of fallow deer is thought to be one of the oldest herds in the country.

Accessed via a quiet no-through lane in a conservation area that borders the eastern end of Prideaux Place Deer Park, the property has private driveway parking for two cars and an attached single garage and entrance porch. To the rear, there is an elevated sun deck and patio terrace providing a sun-soaked seating area alongside a pretty, domed pergola. The suntrap walled garden offers a veritable oasis, including a lawn, a small pond, and dense beds of planting criss-crossed by pathways that lead to secluded seating areas. There are views of the Camel Estuary from both the garden and terraces, and as night falls, garden lighting transforms the magical space for evening entertaining.

Location

Padstow is a picturesque fishing port renowned for its culinary scene, thanks to celebrity chef Rick Stein, who has several restaurants here and more recently, by Paul Ainsworth’s No 6 restaurant. Situated on the Camel Estuary, this vibrant working harbour has been in use since 2,500 bc and today Padstow is home to many restaurants, cosy tearooms, bistros, welcoming pubs, local shops & galleries, making it a must-see foodie destination and tourist attraction! The area is rich in natural beauty including, Stepper Point, and wonderful golden sandy beaches to explore such as St George’s Cove, Tregirls beach (Hawkers Cove) and Butterhole, as well as the glorious 7-Bays that lie between Padstow and Newquay. From Lancefield House there is a footpath out onto the cliff path and down to the beaches. From Padstow there are many scenic walks out to Stepper Point, including the start of the Saints Way that crosses mid Cornwall to Fowey on the south coast. Padstow is also the end point of the Camel Trail, a fantastic bridleway, cycling and walking footpath that travels along the river Camel and passes through Wadebridge to Bodmin. There is a regular foot ferry across the estuary to Rock where you can pick up the Southwest Coast Path to Daymer Bay, Polzeath and beyond. Most everyday shopping requirements can be met in Padstow, but Wadebridge’s market town is only eight miles distant.
