Formerly a Chapel and a School, now providing a spacious DETACHED 3/4 BEDROOM FAMIILY HOME, with period features, having been greatly improved, with courtyard gardens and outbuildings to the rear, situated in a convenient location only a 15 minute drive to the BEACH at Bude or Sandymouth Bay. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

DESCRIPTION

This delightful detached family home will appeal to a variety of buyers including those looking for a bolt hole or potential for airbnb, being so close to North Cornwall's rugged coastline and spectacular beaches. Built, we believe, around 1840 as a Chapel and then a school, the current vendors have greatly improved the spacious accommodation on offer, which is double glazed and oil fired centrally heated throughout. As you enter the property the front entrance porch has an ecclesiastical feel with high arched entrance and timber entrance doors into the hallway, throughout are many period features such as high ceilings, exposed wide timber floorboards and deep window sills. The entrance hall then leads to a separate dining room which could be utilised as a study or bedroom 4. A large lounge with feature brick fireplace housing woodburning stove, kitchen/breakfast room and a useful rear porch leading to outside. All the ground floor principle rooms are double aspect. On the first floor a generous landing gives access to three sizeable double bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower and bath. Outside, access to the side leads to a courtyard garden, ideal for al fresco dining and incorporating two useful stone outbuildings, perfect for storage of water sport equipment such as surfboards and general storage, one housing the oil fired boiler and one houses the oil storage tank. At the front of the property, set back is a further useful small store shed. In all, due to its location, this property will appeal to those looking for a family home being convenient to the towns of Bude, Holsworthy and Launceston, or for those looking for a second home, bolt hole, or airbnb/guest house. Offered with no onward chain.
