Hidden behind high listed stone walls in the sought after old town area of Padstow is Lucina, an individually styled detached south facing home of great character and charm with an attractive front elevation of natural stone and slate inspired by the rich local architecture of this historic town.

The property is one of four top quality high specification homes that were built by the award winning developers, Rosemullion Homes, in the year 2000. This grand property stands proudly in the former Victorian kitchen garden that once belonged to Prideaux Place, with Lucina occupying a particularly private and elevated position inside Fentonluna Gardens which borders the beautiful Deer Park.

Approached by a gravelled courtyard from High Street and past the double garage which lends privacy, Lucina is accessed through a gateway, steps and path winding up between lawns and well stocked borders. The attractive character of the stone and slate exterior is enhanced by the glazed porch, leading to the large central hall which has a beautiful slate floor as does the lounge. Both the lounge, which measures over 22 feet in length, and dining room have full length windows and French casement doors to the front, south facing terrace. The lounge has a gas log burner as its central focal point. At the rear is a modern fitted kitchen complete with granite work surfaces, Aga, cloakroom, separate utility room, and a pleasant and extremely private conservatory. Up on the first floor is a light and spacious landing, large master suite of bedroom, with en-suite shower room and wardrobes, good sized second bedroom and a family bathroom. The third bedroom, also a double, enjoys glimpses over the rear garden wall into the deer park of Prideaux Place.

The gardens are a wonderful feature of this property, cleverly landscaped, terraced and beautifully stocked with an array of mature plants, shrubs and small trees. The front terrace, which is south facing and extends across the front of the house, is the perfect suntrap with a Pergola on one side and patio to the other. Paths give access to both sides of the house. The gardens are afforded complete privacy by the high listed stone walls which themselves are a hugely attractive feature. On the lower terrace is a small courtyard/barbeque area with a lovely water feature, well screened by a high wall and bordered by the garage.

The property is uniquely afforded privacy by the very desirable asset of a double garage. With the front elevation resembling a traditional cart house, and a personnel door leading in from the courtyard, this large garage features heavy duty twin wooden doors each fitted with cast iron hinges, access to power with automatic courtesy lights, and plenty of roof storage overhead. Services to the property include mains water, electricity, gas and drainage. EPC rating D. Council tax band F.
