Crackington Haven, Bude, Cornwall, EX23

For sale by Public Auction 12th November.
A fantastic and unique opportunity to purchase a small farm close to the spectacular North Cornish coast. Four bedroom dormer style bungalow, small range of outbuildings and just over 11 acres with further land available.


Lot 1~ Marshmeadow bungalow, outbuildings and some 11.24 acres (4.55 ha).
Marshmeadow can be found on the western edge of the entrance lane into Pengold Farm, and comprises a four bedroom dormer style bungalow which we understand was built by the vendors family in 1937. Benefiting from superb views over the nearby coastline, the property has not been lived in for around three years and is in need of complete renovation and modernisation. The accommodation briefly comprises;

Side entrance door to Kitchen with a range of fitted units, work surfaces over with sink and drainer and space for electric cooker. From here is a Breakfast Room with chimney breast housing a ‘Hamco’ stove (not working) and with built in cupboards to both sides, one including a serving hatch.

The Hallway leads to the front porch and entrance door, plus the Dining Room and Sitting Room, both of which have fireplaces with tiled surrounds and one is the site of the oil fired boiler. There are also two ground floor Bedrooms, a Wet Room with WC, wash basin and shower cubicle and a Separate WC.

Two First Floor Bedrooms (with limited head height), both with far reaching views over the Atlantic and surrounding coastline.

Outside and from the lane, a gate leads to a walled courtyard area at the rear of the property and the Wash House. A path leads to a lawned garden at the front which has wonderful far reaching views. The lower yard can be accessed from here and also has its own access off the farm lane.

Located here is a small range of buildings and concreted yard and hardstanding.

Remains of a concrete block built Piggery

Store Shed - 29'11" x 17'11" (9.12m x 5.46m) Timber frame and timber clad.

Single Garage -  16'3" x 12'5" (4.95m x 3.78m) Corrugated sheet cladding.

Wagon House & Garaging - 38'5" x 31'9" (11.7m x 9.68m) In some disrepair, a traditional stone barn under a partial corrugated sheet roof.

The Land with Lot 1 extends in all to some 11.24 acres and can be predominantly found to the west of the bungalow and buildings. Access is from the ‘lower yard’ or from the entrance lane and the fields are mostly down to grass with hedge bank or stone wall boundaries. There is a stream on its western edge which provides a water supply for livestock. There are stunning views from here over the surrounding coastline.

Further land available as follows;

Lot 2 ~ Land at Pengold Farm extending to some 37.97 acres (15.36 ha)
Accessed via a stone track from the east of the farm lane, this block of land comprises a mixture of sloping pasture land and steeper naturalised woodland on its northern boundary. We understand that historically some of this land has been in arable production. The land also benefits from a natural water source, a stream on two boundaries.


Lot 3 ~ Land at Pengold Farm extending to some 26.15 acres (10.58 ha)
Accessed via the same track as Lot 2, this run of ground is more sloping and comprising a mixture of pasture, rough natural habitat and woodland. Again some of it has utilised for arable cropping but has much conservation appeal today. This land also has a natural water source, a stream, on two of its boundaries.
