acre cattle farm which provided milk to the village of Little Petherick and Padstow.The lane leading up to the house was once known as Ballaminers Lane. The original water pump and well to the village can be seen in the lane to this day.Tucked away up a leafy lane in a quiet elevated position in the picturesque hamlet of Little Petherick Ballaminers House is only two miles south of Padstow and Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant and Cookery School.
