Rosehill House is an extremely attractive, Grade II Listed family home that occupies a commanding position on the edge of Padstow with views over the village and across the Camel Estuary. The property is situated close to Prideaux Place and has retained many of its original period features. It has a lovely warm, homely feel to it. This charming, five bedroom, semi-detached home sits on the corner of The High Street and Tregirls Lane and has private off-street parking for one vehicle and a very pretty, private and secluded garden. The property offers the most wonderful waterfront lifestyle with the harbour and water's edge only a short walk down the hill and through the town. Legend has it that Charles Dickens stayed here when writing Dr Marlow's Ghost at a time when the property was a doctor's residence.
Beside the parking area is the path that leads up to the front door and porch, flanked by impressive columns. This leads into the hallway with stairs leading up to the first floor. Off the hallway are the sitting room and the open plan dining room/ kitchen. The sitting room has a Victorian fireplace, with panelled walls and double aspect sash windows with wooden shutters. The dining room also has an open fireplace in a lovely wooden floor and this leads through to the kitchen which has a two door, gas-fired Aga and a slate flagstone floor. There is also an electric oven and induction hobs and a central island. Beyond the rear hallway is the utility room with a WC. The gas-fired boiler is within the rear hallway.

Stairs lead up to a half landing off which are a family shower room and a double bedroom which has an en suite shower room. Stairs lead on up to the landing and corridor off which are three further bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with both a bath and a shower and enjoys glimpses out to the estuary across the Padstow rooftops. The two other bedrooms are both at the front. Both enjoy estuary views and one has an en suite shower room.
A door off the corridor leads on up to the second floor which consists of good sized family room with some of the best views out across the Camel Estuary. This room leads through to the fifth bedroom in the eaves which has fabulous views out to the estuary. The family room could also be used as a sixth bedroom or dormitory if required.

Outside, there is the most charming, mature garden that has been cleverly designed to include a number of shrubs and specimen trees including two New Zealand fearns, acers, hydrangeas, a palm tree, wisteria and agapanthus. There is also an outdoor shower beside the back door. In addition to a lovely lawn there is a terrace that is perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining and a summer house. The garden is particularly private and secluded.
