Less than a 10 minute drive from the beautiful sandy bays and surfing beaches of Bude and Widemouth Bay, this charming 18th century mid-terrace cob cottage stands to one side of the country lane on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Marhamchurch. The cottage is perfect for families to enjoy a traditional beach holiday nearby and is also an excellent base for walkers and bird watchers, being within easy reach of the South West Coastal Path, Bude Marshes Nature Reserve and picturesque Bude Canal less than 3 miles away. Approached through a walled and gated patio garden, the front door set beneath an open porch roof leads into a central hallway with the original slate flagstones and the warm and cosy accommodation which retains much of its character with slightly sloping walls and floors.

On one side is a beamed sitting room with comfortable lounge seating arranged before the inglenook fireplace, and on the other side is a pine fitted kitchen/dining room with a farmhouse table and the original cloam oven in the hearth.

Both rooms overlook the south facing front patio. A carpeted staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor landing and two pleasant bedrooms with a kingsize and twin beds respectively, each with its own hand basin and lovely rural views, and an adjacent cot/play room.

Two steps continue up from the landing to the rear of the cottage where there are a shower room with hand basin, a separate W. C. , and a further double bedroom with hand basin and views of the surrounding countryside and the owners working farm.

The additional bed spaces offer a variation for the numbers accommodated. At the front of the cottage is an enclosed slate paved patio that provides a real sun trap and there is private off road parking for up to 3 cars in a lay-by opposite. The owner lives in a self contained annexe to the rear of the original cottage. Bude, 2. 5 miles by road,has a wide selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, leisure centre and bowling alley. It is possible to walk or cycle along the scenic canal footpath passing through farmland to Bude, and there are numerous opportunities for water sports, coarse fishing, golf and horse riding available locally.
