Description
This stunning 3/4 bedroom, Grade II listed thatched cottage, dating back to 1531, has undergone a significant refurbishment to transform it into a modern home while retaining its unique character. The property features a well-known local thatcher-replaced thatched roof, new electric consumer unit and wiring, a multi-fuel stove, and a heat recirculation system to control the atmosphere. The cottage has been re-decorated inside and out, and the private gardens have been greatly improved with new fencing, a lawn, kitchen garden, shed, and workshop. The property has a rich history linked to smuggling and the English Civil War, and is said to have inspired Daphne Du Maurier's novel Jamaica Inn. The interior boasts a beautiful rear lobby, exposed vaulted ceiling, and original wood internal doors leading to a study, living/dining room, formal dining room, kitchen, and separate w/c. The first floor features a master bedroom with en-suite, two further bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The property is heated by oil-fired central heating and has recently replaced windows and a bunded oil tank. Located about 4 miles from Bude and its beaches, the property is perfect for those looking for a unique and historic home in a picturesque setting.
