Townsend, Stratton, Bude EX23

An opportunity to acquire this well presented and deceptively spacious 2 bedroom character residence, situated in the heart of the historic village of Stratton and offering versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, together with an attractive rear garden and a particularly useful outbuilding.

The accommodation opens into the living room, a welcoming reception space featuring a recessed fireplace housing a wood burning stove. From here, access leads through to the impressive kitchen/dining room, which provides an excellent everyday living and entertaining space. The kitchen is fitted with lvt herringbone flooring, a range of modern units complemented by solid oak work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and a Belfast sink, with ample room for a dining table. On the first floor are two double bedrooms together with a contemporary family bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite including a bath with shower over.

A particularly useful feature of the property is the outbuilding positioned within the rear garden, comprising a utility room, WC and an additional room with French doors. This provides excellent ancillary space for home working, hobbies or general recreational use. Outside, the property enjoys a surprisingly generous enclosed rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn with established planting, raised borders and a patio/decked seating area immediately adjoining the house.

16 Townsend occupies a sought after position within this self contained rural village of Stratton, only a short distance away from its useful local amenities which include places of worship, public houses, hospital and medical centre, etc. The adjoining popular coastal town of Bude offers a wider range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities as well as being famed for its many nearby areas of outstanding natural beauty and popular bathing beaches. The bustling market town of Holsworthy lies some 10 miles inland and the port town of Bideford is some 26 miles in a Northerly direction providing access on to the A39 North Devon link road which connects, in turn, to Barnstaple, Tiverton and the M5 motorway.

Immediately adjoining the house is a raised seating area providing a pleasant space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading down to the main garden. This is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of mature shrubs, plants and established boundaries, creating an appealing and relatively private setting. Within the garden is a detached outbuilding, providing a utility room, separate WC and an additional versatile room with French doors opening onto the garden. This is a particularly useful addition to the property and lends itself to a variety of ancillary uses.

There is no private parking with the property, although on-street parking is generally available nearby.

Agents Note

We understand that the neighbouring property benefits from a right of access across the rear of the property. Prospective purchasers should ask their legal representative to confirm the precise extent and terms of this right.

Please note that the loft room is accessed via a steep staircase which does not meet current Building Regulations standards. The space is therefore best considered as a useful ancillary room rather than formal bedroom accommodation.
