Hillside, Poughill Road, Bude, Cornwall, EX23

DESCRIPTION A superb prospect offered to the market for the first time in 45 years; this commanding home occupies an enviable, elevated position where outstanding views over both the sea and town can be enjoyed: this position alone is sure to entice strong interest. Hillside boasts a generous plot approaching 1/3 of an acre with ample frontage creating a feeling of grandiosity on approach with parking for multiple vehicles, access to a detached garage and large well-maintained lawn. To the rear you find a lovely garden harmoniously divided into a productive allotment to the rear and well-manicured lawn in the forefront. Throughout, you will find rooms of generous proportions and height all with splendid views either towards the sea or over the beautiful gardens. The ground floor briefly comprises an entrance porch and hallway, cloakroom, kitchen/breakfast room, drawing room, living room and dining room. A turning staircase leads to the spacious first-floor landing providing access to four double bedrooms, a further single and two bathrooms. Once again, views can be enjoyed from all rooms, with the best vistas enjoyed from the box bay window in the master bedroom. Although in need of some modernisation, this is a wonderful opportunity to be just the fourth owner of this special abode in its near 100-year history. The space and location offered is rarely matched. LOCATION The property lies on the fringe of the sought after village of Poughill with its well respected pub The Preston Gate and lies only a short walk from the coastal resort of Bude.
