9 Porthilly View

9 Porthilly View is a contemporary three-bedroom bungalow in Padstow, set in a quiet spot less than half a mile from the town's harbour, shops and restaurants. Sleeping six, the single-level layout makes it a practical base for families or groups of friends, with the Camel Trail starting below the house.

Inside, the lounge has a flame-effect gas fire and a Smart TV, with estuary views drawing the eye outside. A dining area sits to the rear alongside the modern kitchen, which is fitted with a dishwasher. The three bedrooms suit mixed parties: a king-size room with its own TV, a twin and a bunk room, sharing a bathroom with shower over bath. A washing machine is also provided.

Outside sits the highlight of the property. The front has a sloping lawn and a decked terrace with garden furniture and a BBQ, while the rear holds a lawned garden with shrub borders, a second seating area and a petanque court. Parking is on-site and dogs are welcome. Daymer Bay Beach is 3.1km away, Trevone Bay 3.2km and Greenaway Beach 3.7km.

Padstow itself is known for its seafood scene, with restaurants including those of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth within walking distance. Cyclists can pick up the Camel Trail below the house, which runs to Wadebridge about five miles inland. Prideaux Place, an Elizabethan manor with formal gardens and a deer park, is open seasonally just outside the town.
