5 bed detached house for sale

Kilkhampton Road, Bude, Cornwall EX23

An exciting opportunity to acquire a generous property with ample potential, offered to the market with the benefit of an adjoining field to the south. The field has outline planning permission for up to five dwellings, taking the overall plot size to in excess of five acres.

Set on the edge of the popular village of Kilkhampton, the property offers flexible accommodation and represents a fine prospect for those seeking an investment opportunity or a multi-generational living arrangement.

The accommodation requires renovation throughout with the main house comprising a kitchen, conservatory/dining room, living room, and WC. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms-two of which are doubles-and a family bathroom.

The one-bedroom annexe features a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, conservatory, additional room, and en-suite bathroom. The studio offers open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, with a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. Each unit enjoys its own garden.

The adjoining land benefits from outline planning permission for five detached dwellings on generous plots, providing excellent potential to add value. The current permission also includes the creation of a pavement, offering a level walk to the village shops and amenities.

Although the property itself requires refurbishment, there is no doubt this is a superb investment opportunity-whether for development, income potential, or creating your forever home.
