Summary - Paize, Poughill EX23 9EZ
9 bed 3 bath Detached
Elevated 9-bed period house on ~18.4 acres with coastal views, requiring full modernisation..
9 bedrooms and five reception rooms, substantial period accommodation
An impressive 9-bedroom, 5-reception detached period house dating from 1926, set in an elevated position with long coastal views towards Bude and the Atlantic. The main residence sits within approximately 18.44 acres of pasture, woodland and formal gardens, with a stream, pedestrian bridge, extensive driveway and a range of outbuildings offering obvious development or income potential subject to planning.
The house is spacious and characterful — high ceilings, bay windows, multiple chimneys and substantial rooms throughout — but it requires comprehensive modernisation and upgrading. Services are traditional: oil-fired boiler with radiators, likely uninsulated granite walls and an EPC rating of F. Broadband speeds are slow, although mobile signal is excellent.
This property will suit a buyer or developer seeking a substantial country estate with scope: think conversion of outbuildings, partial redevelopment, holiday rental use, or restoration to create a large family home with incredible coastal outlooks. Note some of the land is subject to a farm/business tenancy (FBT) until 2034; full details and plans should be checked before purchase. Council Tax Band G may mean higher running costs.
Practical features — large off-road parking, mature lawns, woodland, and a stream — combine with the location’s walking access to Poughill village and nearby Bude beaches. Honest refurbishment and insulation works are needed to unlock the house’s potential and reduce ongoing energy costs.
