A rare Grade II listed thatched cottage dating to circa 1531, this lovingly refurbished home blends historic character with modern services. The thatch has been fully replaced and the electrics upgraded; a Nuaire eco heat-recirculation system and thermal timber windows help manage the thick cob walls while retaining period charm. Note: listed status may restrict alterations and can complicate some maintenance or extension plans.
Arranged over multiple levels, the house offers flexible accommodation for families or multi-generational living: master with en-suite, two further doubles, plus the option to use a ground-floor reception as a bedroom. The large inglenook fireplace with wood burner and clome oven provides an atmospheric focal point; oak floors, exposed beams and sympathetically updated bathrooms and kitchen combine character with comfort.
Outside, fully enclosed private gardens include a lawn, established kitchen garden and a functional well. A substantial detached workshop and garden shed add practical space (workshop available separately). Gated driveway provides immediate parking with additional public parking nearby.
Practical details are straightforward: oil-fired central heating with a bunded tank, shared private drainage, EPC D and council tax band D. The setting is rural and quiet—about 4 miles from Bude and 2 miles from Widemouth Bay—ideal for those wanting countryside life within easy reach of the coast.
