Stunning artist's home and gallery has the quirkiest features
Entry from the street leads straight into the gallery space and oldest part of the building with the house located behind and accessed either from the gallery or via the wrap-around back garden
With floods of natural light streaming through large windows and crisp white walls serving as a blank canvas awaiting inspiration, this artist's home in Padstow is a stunner.
Nestled on one of the cobbled streets of the seaside town this pretty home is simple and elegant yet has splashes of character and personality in its paint-spattered floor and high ceilings where a mezzanine was added to store the owner's canvases.
From here are pretty views over the rooftops of Padstow's Old Town that could be yours to look out at each day - for a price tag of £1,500,000. For sale through London-based Inigo this gallery and two-bedroom home has some charming reclaimed features, such as the various Gothic and Georgian doors and elegant pendant lights fashioned from ship foghorns.

It also has a lovely mature garden built into a hill encircling the rear of the house. At the top of the garden is a sheltered bench, the perfect perch to watch boats on the estuary and find some creative inspiration.
The current owner, artist Sarah Adams, told House Beautiful of the decision to sell: "After 18 amazing years here I feel it's time for a change and have decided to retire from running a gallery to concentrate on my own work. I love my home and studio, but I’ve decided to downsize now, and let a new person write the next chapter in the story of 30 Duke Street."
