LOCATION
Within the desirable coastal hamlet of Upton, the property occupies a generous plot with rural views south, within walking distance of the breath-taking North Cornish coastal path.
Upton lies between Bude town centre and picturesque Widemouth Bay with its own (previously Blue Flag) sandy beach and exhilarating surf.

Bude (being within walking distance) itself offers an excellent range of shops, public houses and restaurants and has a good selection of leisure pursuits, which include leisure pool, all weather floodlit tennis courts and excellent 18 hole links golf course as well as its own two popular sandy beaches. The town also caters for both primary and secondary education.

There is good access onto the main A39 coastal road which provides excellent access North to the larger towns of Bideford and Barnstaple and South further on down into Cornwall.

DESCRIPTION
A substantial executive style property in a highly sought-after location close to both the town and beaches. The property enjoys large south facing gardens with stunning rural views which can be enjoyed on both floors from in and outside of the property.

Still retaining many of its original features, the property offers huge further potential with generous sized living accommodation including entrance porch, hallway, shower room, boot room, utility room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room, garden room and two bedrooms (or one bedroom and a study) on the ground floor. On the first floor is a separate WC and bathroom, two bedrooms and the master en-suite bedroom with dressing area and balcony.

Outside the property offers excellent gated parking and frontage with detached double garage and former stables used for storage. There is access either side of the property leading to a large south facing lawn with views over neighbouring fields and rolling countryside. The property also boasts uPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating throughout. While the property would greatly benefit from modernising throughout, the location, generous proportions, south facing aspect and rural views, will be certain to impress.
