DESCRIPTION Enjoying a delightful tucked away rural setting in an elevated position that affords some lovely views out over countryside, an extremely attractive detached one bedroomed rustic stone and brick barn set on the edge of a small and select enclave of similar properties, close to the Cornish coast and away from passing traffic. The conversion and subsequent refurbishment have been conducted in sympathy with the original building, maintaining many of its delightful character features and enhancing those with up to date modern kitchen appliances and sanitaryware, and tastefully decorated throughout. The property is offered with full freehold residential use, but has until recently been successfully holiday let, providing a useful income. This barn would make an ideal bolthole/holiday home with the ability to provide some income when not in use by the owners or could equally make a very manageable and comfortable main residence for a couple or smaller family and may offer potential for extension in the future (subject to any necessary consents).

LOCATION This will be a coveted location by many, in some ways having the best of all worlds with a delightfully tucked away, peaceful, rural environment enjoying lovely views out over the surrounding countryside towards the sea and enjoying close proximity to the north Cornish coast with easy access to the fantastic surfing beaches at Widemouth and Bude both within a short drive. The nearby village of Stratton provides for day to day requirements whilst within circa two miles, is the resort town of Bude providing a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities, a delightful canal and river with sandy beaches in the estuary and further beaches available on the coast to both north and south. There are lovely cliff top and coastal walks to be enjoyed along this rugged coastline, popular for bathing and fishing as well. The hinterland to the town of Bude is predominantly open farmland and countryside with rural hamlets and villages, dissected by a myriad of footpaths and bridleways providing lovely walks. The nearby A39 (the Atlantic Highway) provides swift road access northwards into Devon tracking the coast, providing access to further beauty spots and southwards following the coast down to resorts such as Rock, Polzeath and the fishing village of Padstow. The A3072 provides a main road route across county from Bude to Holsworthy to Okehampton where it joins the A30, which provides a dual carriageway link all the way into Devon and the city of Exeter where it joins the national motorway network. To the north on the Devon coast are further well renown surfing resorts in Bideford Bay at Westward Ho, Braunton, Croyde and Woolacombe all within an easy drive.
