A neatly presented two-bedroom Georgian terraced cottage in central Bude, offered freehold and ready to use as a holiday let, second home or compact permanent residence. The property is arranged over two floors with a cosy living room, utility room and an enclosed rear courtyard that provides private outdoor space in this central location.
From the first-floor rear elevation there are pleasant outlooks over Bude with distant sea views. The house retains period character — exposed beams and sash windows — and is presented in good decorative order, with double glazing and a gas-fired boiler serving radiators. Furniture and contents are available by separate negotiation, which supports immediate holiday-let occupation if required.
Buyers should note the cottage’s modest scale: rooms are small with low ceilings and the overall plot is compact. Constructed before 1900 in granite or whinstone, the walls are assumed to be uninsulated which may mean additional costs to improve thermal efficiency. EPC rating C is better than many older cottages but further energy upgrades could still be needed.
The property occupies a highly convenient town-centre position within easy walking distance of shops, amenities and beaches — a genuine draw for holidaymakers and second-home buyers. However, the area records above-average crime statistics and council tax banding is currently unreported; prospective purchasers should check local crime data and outgoings as part of their due diligence.
