Description

Rare opportunity to acquire this substantial, well proportioned detached house which has come to the market for first time in nearly 25 years. Benefitting from 6.5 acres of ground, which is a mixture of attractive gardens, paddocks and ancient woodland. The accommodation briefly comprises four bedrooms (three en-suite), four reception rooms, kitchen, utility, cloakroom, family bathroom, shower room, boiler room and separate WC. It boasts a range of useful outbuildings to include a double garage and two former cottages. With the property being so generously sized throughout and adaptable it would suit a large family, dual occupation, or those looking to do bed and breakfast. There is also a possibility to create two separate letting units if required, subject to the necessary work. The property does require some quite reasonable structural work along with modernising and updating throughout. Situated in a beautiful and peaceful rural location, yet only 5.5 miles from Holsworthy and 14 miles from the coastal town of Bude.

SITUATION
Situated on the outskirts of the picturesque rural hamlet of Thornbury, just under six miles from the market town of Holsworthy which offers a wide range of amenities including ‘Waitrose’ and ’Co-op’ supermarkets, M&S Foodhall, petrol station, post office, banking facilities, newsagents, vets, doctors, dentist and cottage hospital along with a full range of educational facilities.  Leisure facilities include an indoor heated swimming pool and an 18 hole golf course.  The popular north Cornish coastal resort of Bude is approximately 14 miles distant, much of the coastline is a Site of Special 
Scientific Interest and provides many sandy beaches with a variety of watersports available.  The cathedral city of Exeter is some 45 minutes drive and offers a full range of facilities as well as motorway and mainline railway access and an international airport.
