4 bed detached house for sale

Diddies, Bude, Cornwall EX23

Brookside is a charming three-bedroom detached cottage with a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, set in beautifully maintained gardens extending to over half an acre.

Occupying a superb, quiet position on the edge of Stratton, the property is ideally suited to a plethora of buyers, offering excellent potential for multigenerational living or additional source of income.

The house briefly comprises a living room, kitchen, utility, cloakroom and conservatory opening directly onto the gardens. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms (including a master with en-suite) and a family bathroom. The self-contained annexe offers a spacious open-plan kitchen/living area, conservatory, double bedroom, and shower room. There is further potential to extend the annexe, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The property is approached via gates that open onto a generous brick-paved driveway providing ample parking and access to a double garage. The gardens are chiefly laid to lawn and complemented by established flower borders with mature trees and shrubs, all offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. A gently flowing stream meanders through the grounds, with several footbridges connecting to different areas.

To the far side of the garden lies a small meadow backing onto open farmland, enjoying elevated views across to Stratton. Adjacent to the annexe is a productive vegetable and herb garden with raised beds, greenhouse and polytunnel.

An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, flexible accommodation and setting of this unique home.
