Description Commanding an elevated position in the heart of Portloe, St Petroc is arguably the most iconic building in this picturesque fishing village.

Thoughtfully restored by its current owners, the property has undergone a meticulous renovation, seamlessly transforming it from two separate flats back into an exceptional coastal home.

Approached via a charming portico with granite steps, the entrance opens into a beautifully designed interior that balances contemporary elegance with traditional character.

On the ground floor, there are two spacious double bedrooms, both benefitting from en-suite bath/shower rooms and bespoke built-in storage.

Also on this level is the impressive primary bedroom, featuring floor-to-ceiling bifold doors that open onto a private lower terrace.

Here, a built-in hot tub offers the perfect spot to soak in the uninterrupted views across Portloe Harbour.

The primary bedroom is further enhanced by an en-suite bathroom with a generous walk-in shower and ample built-in wardrobes.

Further ground-floor amenities include a temperature-controlled wine store, a downstairs WC, and a well-appointed boot room with direct external access.

Ascending to the first floor, the property opens up into a stunning semi-open plan living space, incorporating a spacious lounge, dining area, and contemporary kitchen.

The kitchen is complemented by a walk-in pantry, adding both practicality and charm.

A striking feature staircase leads up to a mezzanine level, currently used as a home office but offering potential for conversion into a fourth bedroom (subject to the necessary permissions).

The living area flows effortlessly onto an expansive sun terrace, providing breathtaking panoramic views over Portloe Harbour and extending towards National Trust land on the Flagstaff.

This outdoor space is perfectly positioned for al fresco dining, relaxation, and embracing the tranquillity of the Cornish coastline.

Outside Beyond the house, the property extends into an expansive garden of just over an acre, primarily laid to woodland with cleverly designed terraced areas that provide pockets of colour throughout the seasons.

Thoughtfully landscaped for impactful planting while remaining low maintenance, the garden blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings.

At the uppermost level, there is an opportunity to add a summerhouse (subject to any necessary planning permissions), with power and water already in situ-an ideal spot for a studio, retreat, or additional entertaining space.

St Petroc also benefits from a spacious double garage, complete with a sliding door and ample room for two large vehicles.

In addition, there is convenient off-street parking directly in front of the garage, providing easy access for both residents and guests.

A Brief History St Petroc takes its name from the original abbot of Lanwithinoc, born in 483 and passing on 4 June 564.

A Welsh nobleman, he was educated in an Irish monastery before sailing to the Camel Estuary, where he established a church at Padstow alongside a Celtic monastery, spreading the Christian faith throughout the region.

At the time, the area was ruled by King Constantine, who, according to legend, was converted to Christianity by St Petroc after the saint intervened to save a hunted deer.

St Petroc was later buried in the 12th century at St Petroc’s Church in Bodmin and is considered by some to be the patron saint of Cornwall.

The property itself, believed to have been built in 1900, originally served as the village vicarage.

According to a previous owner, one notable resident was the mother-in-law of the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire.

In later years, the Davenport family undertook a conversion, transforming the property into two apartments before it was later restored to its current form by the current owners as a single, elegant residence.
