Property description

Built in 1972 and completed modernised by the current owners, Kilmarnock is an elegant and individual detached residence with spacious living accommodation traditionally set over two storeys. Recent modernisations include well appointed kitchen and bathroom suites, new central heating system and electrics, engineered oak flooring throughout the ground floor and general cosmetic improvement. The property sits on a level plot extending to approximately 0.75 acres of landscaped gardens and tarmacadam driveway suitable for parking and turning. Adjoining to the rear of the property is a gently sloping 4 acre pasture paddock. Internal viewing is highly recommended.

Kilmarnock occupies a prominent position between Holsworthy and Bude with spectacular uninterrupted rural views to the dramatic North Cornwall coastline and Atlantic Ocean. The spectacular and dramatic Cornish coastline is only five miles with access to many sandy beaches with a variety of watersports available, particularly at the coastal resort of Bude and Widemouth Bay. Within half a mile is the village of Bridgerule with its public house, primary school, village hall and places of worship.
A wider range of facilities are available at the larger towns of Holsworthy (7.5miles), Launceston (12 miles) and Bude (6 miles) each with their own educational, commercial and recreational facilities. 
The market town of Launceston provides access to the A30 dual carriageway providing better a balance of travelling between Cornwall and Devon onto the M5 motorway at Exeter.
