Description

Boasting sea views and easy access to the beach we highly recommend viewing this unique property to really appreciate the size, space, privacy and location of this beautiful beach house.

Rubers Coombe is an exquisitely presented, spacious, period home within a 3 minute walk from the beaches of Widemouth Bay and Black Rock. Set off a small country lane the property offers both privacy & seclusion yet is only a few minutes’ drive from all of the shopping, dining and recreational facilities that Bude has to offer. Built in the 1920’s the property is one of the original properties in the hamlet of Widemouth and was previously the market garden.

The property has been extensively modernised by the current owners whilst retaining the character and original features such as the oak floorboards, handmade doors and Cornish flagstone flooring.

The property would make an ideal holiday home with all four bedrooms featuring sea views, a spacious kitchen/ dining room, two reception rooms and utility/ pantry. There is scope to extend the property further and planning was previously granted (now lapsed) to construct an oak framed garden room which would form part of the kitchen/ dining room.

There are multiple options and areas for alfresco dining and an array of outbuildings to provide storage. The gravel driveway provides ample space to park multiple vehicles and room to erect garaging or additional accommodation with holiday let potential if needed (STPP).
