4 bed detached house for sale

Spicers Lane, Stratton, Bude, Cornwall EX23

A beautifully presented four-bedroom property, which has been renovated and extended to provide a wealth of elegant and characterful accommodation with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The Cottage enjoys a sizeable plot with generous walled gardens and is set in a convenient position in the heart of the highly regarded historic town of Stratton. The property is situated in a conservation area and is within easy reach of local amenities and just moments from the stunning landscapes of the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast.

The Cottage offers over 2,500 sq ft of attractive accommodation arranged over two light-filled floors. There are two welcoming reception rooms at the front of the ground level, located in the original part of the cottage that dates from the 1800's. These rooms feature painted timber beams, limestone flooring, and original fireplaces with timber lintels (one also fitted with a woodburing stove) and are currently configured as a sitting room and formal dining room. Both rooms are decorated in a neutral style, which extends into a modern rear extension that houses an impressive open-plan kitchen, sitting area, and dining area. The kitchen itself is fitted with oak painted units to base and wall level, with sleek Quartz worktops, a large central island with a breakfast bar, a butler sink, and an electric Aga, while an adjoining utility room provides additional space for home storage and appliances. The sitting and dining areas feature full-height windows and French doors that open onto the rear garden. The ground floor accommodation is competed by a useful boot room and a cloakroom. There are two staircases leading to the upper level. One serves the generous family room which has a vaulted ceiling with skylights overhead and French doors that open onto an elevated patio. This room also features limestone flooring, and a fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove. The main staircase leads to four well-presented bedrooms, including the luxury principal bedroom which benefits from an adjoining dressing room and en suite shower room, as well as a Juliet balcony that overlooks the beautiful rear garden. One further bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the first floor also has a family bathroom with a separate shower unit.

At the front, the property opens onto Spicers Lane, with parking available in the integrated carport, which opens at the rear via sliding doors to the lower rear cobbled area with additional parking for up to 3 vehicles. The split-level walled garden has been beautifully landscaped to provide several private areas in which to relax, including the lower patio and an upper sun terrace area. The gardens include gravel pathways and terracing, a well-maintained central lawn and well-stocked border beds with various shrubs and flowering perennials. Steps lead up to a further level where there is an additional expanse of lawn and beyond, a vegetable garden with raised beds, a greenhouse and a storage shed. The property also benefits from an external office and features sensory lighting throughout the garden.

The market town of Stratton lies in a highly sought-after position, within easy reach of Bude and the stunning coastal landscapes of the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast. The town has various everyday amenities including local shops, two pubs, a community hall and a primary school, while less than two miles away, the charming seaside town of Bude offers a variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés. Inland, Launceston also provides a range of amenities, including further schooling, supermarkets and extensive shopping. The area provides breathtaking walking, cycling and riding routes along the coast, together with pristine beaches for watersports and soaking up the sunshine. The South West Coast Path is also close by, which is England's longest waymarked long distance footpath and a National Trail.
