Charming listed cottage walking distance to beach, large garden and studio.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with original character features
A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage close to Bude’s coast path and beaches, The Thatch combines genuine period character with recently updated interiors. The house offers flexible 2/3 bedroom accommodation across generous floorspace (c.1289 sq ft), exposed beams and bright rooms, together with a custom-built studio/workshop ideal for hobbyists or home working.
The mature, large gardens are a standout — landscaped and private — with off-street parking and useful outdoor storage. Its village location places the town centre, shops and surf beaches within easy walking distance, making it a convenient coastal base for downsizers, second-home buyers or those seeking a lifestyle by the sea.
Buyers should note the material considerations that come with this property: it is Grade II listed and thatch requires specialist maintenance; the stone walls are likely uninsulated and heating is by electric room heaters, contributing to an EPC D rating. These factors may restrict alterations and mean ongoing maintenance costs above average.
For those who value character and location over the lowest running costs, this newly renovated cottage presents a rare, walkable coastal opportunity with scope to personalise within listed constraints. The plot size and separate studio add practical and capital potential, subject to listed-building rules.
