Characterful four‑bed cottage with large garden, five miles from Bude.
Sympathetically restored Grade II Listed cottage with period features
Step into The Old Post Office, a sympathetically restored Grade II Listed cottage offering roomy, characterful family living in the semi‑rural village of Grimscott, five miles from Bude. The house combines period features — exposed beams, sash windows and wooden floorboards — with practical living spaces: an impressive vaulted sitting room, a large former shop‑turned dining room, a breakfast room with wood burner and a well‑equipped kitchen. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite; three further good‑sized bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
Outside, the property sits on a large plot with paved off‑street parking, a courtyard with log store and terraced lawn and decked seating area with raised beds — well suited to family outdoor life and entertaining. The home is freehold and offered chain free, with affordable council tax (Band C) and mains services; heating is provided by an LPG gas boiler.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II Listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate some renovations or extensions. Broadband speeds in the village are very slow and mobile signal is average, which could affect home working. The wider area shows indicators of local deprivation; the house is in a quiet, remoter community with limited immediate amenities.
In short, this is a spacious, characterful family cottage for buyers who value period charm and outdoor space, and who are comfortable working within listed‑building constraints and rural connectivity limits.
