Property description

We are delighted to be able to offer for sale by Public Auction (unless sold prior) this two bedroom detached cottage with a range of outbuildings and set in approximately 2.7 acres. The cottage is in need of updating and modernisation to provide an ideal country retreat.  The property does have some delightful original features to include fireplaces, beams and latch doors.  Externally, the property has a range of barns and outbuildings (in need of repair), a pretty cottage garden, parking for several vehicles and fields to the rear with outstanding views of the surrounding countryside.

SITUATION
Situated approximately 2.5 miles from the sought after village of Bradworthy which has an excellent range of traditional shops including butchers, ironmonger, good public house, garage, vets, doctors surgery, post office and general stores.  Also of note within the village is the Church, village hall and highly-regarded school Bradworthy Primary Academy.  The historic market town of Holsworthy is about 7 miles away and has a thriving weekly pannier market.  There are a range of local shops as well as a ‘Waitrose’ supermarket, a ‘Co-Op’ and a number of traditional pubs and inns, together with a good selection of restaurants and cafés.  Holsworthy also has a nursery, pre-school and Holsworthy Community School.  The popular north Cornish coastal resort of Bude is approximately 12 miles distant and offers a wide range of everyday facilities as well as a number of schools.  Bude has a clean gold sandy beach, popular for surfing.  Much of this section of the North Cornish coast is in the protection of the National Trust and offers spectacular cliff tope walks and small sandy beaches.  The Cathedral city of Exeter is about 50 miles away and provides excellent facilities, including access to the M5 motorway, the mainline railway station to London and an international airport.
