A well-presented two-bedroom terraced cottage in the heart of Stratton, offering genuine period character and a compact, easy-to-manage rear garden. The property is freehold and sits within walking distance of village amenities, making day-to-day life straightforward for a first-time buyer or a landlord seeking a rental in a stable rural location.
Internally the house retains character features such as exposed beams and granite walls with internal insulation. Accommodation is small but practical across roughly 610 sq ft, with an open-plan living area leading to a kitchen and one bathroom. The property is offered with planning approval for an extension, presenting clear scope to increase living space and potential value subject to the approved plans.
Practical considerations are factual: the EPC is band E and the plot and overall living area are modest, so heating costs and energy performance are areas to budget for. The rear garden shows signs of neglect and will require some upkeep. Broadly, this cottage suits buyers seeking a character starter home or investors targeting long-term village lets near Bude’s coast.
Location benefits include proximity to local shops, church, pubs and a medical centre, plus good broadband and low flood risk. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs relatively low, and the property’s age (pre-1900) adds character while also meaning prospective buyers should factor in typical older-property maintenance.
