House For Sale £800,000
Orchard House enjoys a superb, rural location in the beautiful rolling countryside of North Cornwall,
between the picturesque village of Marhamchurch and the historic village of Stratton, just 3 miles from the coast and sandy beaches.
The main house is believed to have been converted from a Mill or Shippon and comprises a spacious living room with a modern wood burning stove, a dining room/bedroom 4, a modern, stylish kitchen and a ground floor shower room, all accessed off a characterful hall, with a slate tile floor and a gorgeous staircase leading to the first floor.
The dual aspect master bedroom is a great space with a generous range of built in furniture, with 2 further well-presented double bedrooms complemented by a family bathroom. Again, the landing area is, in itself, a lovely space, with built in cupboards providing extra storage.
The barn annexe adds such flexibility to this home. For family use, it offers space for guests and family to stay but it is such a good size that it could suit all year-round dual family occupation. Our clients use the rear bedroom as an artist’s studio, so could be utilised for further hobby or work from home space so the barn does provide great versatility.
The living/dining space, with a wood burning stove, is fully glazed to the front and the vaulted beam ceiling adds to the light and airy feel, with an open plan, well stocked kitchen. The barn also has a useful mezzanine storage area. There are 2 bedrooms, one set to the rear with a door opening onto lovely patio. Completing the accommodation is family shower room w/c.
To the side of the barn there is walled patio garden with a mature Wisteria and Roses covering the rear wall.
A real sun trap in the afternoons, this is an ideal place for al-fresco dining. A gated archway in the same wall opens into the pretty rear gardens. These are stocked with a wide variety of shrubs and perennials, with mature tress providing a lovely back drop.
There is an expanse of lawn, a paved patio offering views over the garden and a useful garden shed. The frontage is also well stocked with colourful planting and shrubs, creating a natural screen from the country lane, which is bordered by a traditional stone wall. The driveway offers off road parking for numerous cars and larger vehicles such as motor homes/caravans. The gardens and grounds measure approximately 0.4 of an acre and are well worthy of closer inspection.
LOCATION
Orchard House and annexe are located in a delightful rural position in the tiny hamlet of Cann Orchard which is mentioned in the Domesday Book. This will be a coveted location by many, in some ways having the best of all worlds with a delightfully tucked away, peaceful, rural environment enjoying lovely views out over the surrounding countryside towards the sea and enjoying close proximity to the north Cornish coast with easy access to the fantastic surfing beaches at Widemouth and Bude both within a short drive. The nearby village of Stratton provides for day to day requirements whilst within a further two miles, on the coast is the resort town of Bude providing a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities, a delightful canal and river which meets the Atlantic Ocean with sandy beaches in the estuary mouth and further beaches available on the coast to both north and south.
There are lovely cliff top and coastal walks to be enjoyed along this rugged coastline, popular for bathing and fishing as well. In addition to a decent range of local schools we understand that there are buses from Bude to Shebbear College and St Joseph’s in Launceston.
The hinterland to the town of Bude is
predominantly open farmland and countryside with rural hamlets and villages, dissected by a myriad of footpaths and bridleways providing lovely walks. The nearby A39 (the Atlantic Highway) provides swift road access northwards into Devon tracking the coast providing access to further beauty spots and southwards follows the coast down to the coastal resorts of Rock, Polzeath and the fishing village of Padstow. The A3072 provides a main road route across county from Bude to Holsworthy to Okehampton where it joins the A30, which provides a dual carriageway link all the way into Devon and the city of Exeter where it joins the national motorway network.
