3 bed cottage for sale

Bush, Bude EX23

Bush House is a characterful period semi detached property. The main part of the house is shown to have been built in 1836, whilst the rear part is of earlier date. The property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated over the years, including an extension to the kitchen, which looks out over the terrace, to the hilly field and woods beyond. The house blends historic charm with modern comforts such as electric underfloor heating to the ground floor. Importantly, the generous garden runs along the little River Strat, with a stile leading down to it, adding a wonderfully tranquil backdrop to everyday living. Whilst it is set in the rural hamlet of Bush, the house is only two miles from the ever-popular coastal town of Bude with its local amenities including fine surfing beaches, a golf course, tennis courts and its famous sea pool and canal lock. Bude has many shops, including three supermarkets.
