The Old Post Office is a sympathetically restored Grade II Listed cottage set in the semi‑rural village of Grimscott, about five miles from Bude. The house feels spacious for its type: an impressive sitting room with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, a long dining room that was once the village post office, a breakfast room with wood burner and a well‑fitted kitchen. Four generous bedrooms on the first floor include an ensuite to the principal bedroom alongside a separate family bathroom.
Outside, the property sits on a large plot with paved off‑road parking to the front and a charming, enclosed terrace garden to the rear. The garden offers a lawn, decked seating area, well‑stocked raised beds and privacy from mature shrubs — good for family outdoor space and entertaining. The house is offered chain free and on freehold tenure.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II Listed building: listed status will influence permitted alterations and may complicate certain works. Heating is provided by an LPG gas boiler and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. The wider locality is classified as an ageing rural community with limited local services, although essential amenities and primary/secondary schools are within reach in the Bude area.
This cottage will suit a buyer who values character and period detail, wants roomy accommodation near the coast, and is comfortable working within listed‑building constraints. It presents immediate liveability with potential to personalise internal finishes where allowed by listing controls.
