Spacious Cornish Cottage with a Modern Twist, Near Bude, Short Drive to Beach

A spacious, airy detached Crofters Cottage which has been lovingly restored and modernised, Located in the Beautiful Cornish Village of Marchamchurch.

Nestling within the glorious North Cornwall countryside, with breath taking views towards the North Cornish Coast. Croft Cottage is an ideal retreat for couples, family and friends wanting to escape and unwind. The golden sands of Bude and Widemouth Bay, are only 2 miles away, which have excellent surfing, pretty coves and dramatic coastal walks.

The cottage is our family home and we have recently renovated it to make a modern comfortable and relaxing family space, while keeping some of its charm.

The Cottage is located on the edge of the village, a 5 min walk from the village shop and pub. Its not only peaceful, but super safe for kids and families. Outside you will find a area for every time of day, be it on the south facing front garden, or the large decking area to the rear with awesome panoramic views of the Cornish country side and glimpses of the sea.

Ground Floor

The living space comprises of a modern open plan 35m2 space with a large dinning table and new fitted fully equipped kitchen; including a double range with electric oven & gas hob, integrated appliances & island. 5m wide sliding doors open out straight onto a large decking with uninterrupted views of the North Cornwall Coast.

Off the large open plan living space is a cosy intimate snug, with log burner, smart TV and comfortable sofa. Providing a quiet space to enjoy some down time. Tucked away in the hallway to the front door, out of site is the utility area, with both washing machine and tumble dryer.

Also on the ground floor at the front of the house is the study; with desk space and quiet seating area ideal for getting away from it all to read a book. This room also doubles as a fourth bedroom with a sofa bed.

There is also a Downstairs Toilet and boot room located at the side entrance to the house.

Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom offers a touch of luxury with plenty of space, a comfortable King Size bed, bespoke inbuilt plywood wardrobes, plus a luxurious en-suite with a wet room, walk in shower, basin and WC. From this bedroom you can take in wonderful views across the fields to the coast.
The second bedroom is a quaint cosy bedroom with full sized bunk beds, situated directly along hall from the master bedroom; ideal for kids or adults sharing.

The 3rd bedroom is a comfortable double with views of the front garden.

Outside

The outside space is widely varied. The front garden is south facing and has sun all day and makes a great mid morning coffee spot on the patio out front. There is a large lawn area ideal for ball games with the little ones, and use of the wooden swings and trapeze.

We like to grow as much of our own food as possible, the side garden consists of a large strawberry patch, blueberry and blackberry bushes and two further raised beds with various seasonal produce. This area leads round to the rear garden, which has a large decking area, lawn and more raised beds. There is an out side shower (cold only) which is great for cooling of after a hot afternoon or washing down after a trip to the beach.

Memorable holiday
The house was lovely and spacious, apart from the snug, which was a little snug, we had 3 adults and 2 children under 10 and is was a tight for for us all to watch a film comfortable together. The rest of the house had ample space. Especially the bedroom with the en-suite. Our girls loved the bunk beds, with the chalk board on the wall, a few things i would have like more of that was frying pan and more cupboard space in the kitchen for food, Jemma, Ben and Jemma’s mum were all lovely. Thank you for letting share your lovely home 😀🏖😎

Super Family Stay in Cornwall
We had a fantastic stay in this great family home. It was well presented and worked well practically for all our needs with enough space and beautiful views. The owners were so helpful and around for any questions we had. The house is in a quiet village with a great local shop and only a mile or so from Bude and Widemouth beaches. We loved our stay and felt very lucky to find this wonderful house for our much anticipated holiday this year.

Lovely property and a great owner. Brilliant base for a holiday access to great beaches within walking distance and if you are into surfing then some great places a short drive away. Property has awesome views and on a clear day you can even see the sea!

A great house in a brilliant location - kitchen has been very tastefully converted to make the most of the beautiful views over fields towards the sea, and the sunsets from the decking were wonderful. Jenna was a responsive, helpful and friendly host - we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely spacious cottage in a great location short drive from beaches and shops
We had a fabulous week at Croft Cottage. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 3 children. We spent most of our time in the open plan kitchen which is a great space with outside decking and stunning views. The beds were very comfy and we all slept like babies! Lovely local produce on arrival which was really appreciated and delicious. Jemma and Ben are fabulous hosts who met us on arrival with their children, and the communication before during and after was exceptional.
