2 bed detached house for sale

Jacobstow, Bude, Cornwall EX23

A charming period cottage in a desirable village setting, surrounded by countryside and close to the coast - Orchard Cottage offers character, comfort, versatility and an enviable lifestyle in equal measure. Early viewing is highly recommended.

A Home Full of Warmth and Character

Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Jacobstow, Orchard Cottage is a beautifully presented 18th-century home brimming with charm, character and surprisingly generous living space. Enjoying attractive views towards the parish church and just a short drive from the North Cornish coastline, this delightful cottage perfectly balances period appeal with modern comfort.

From the moment you step inside, Orchard Cottage feels welcoming and homely. The dual-aspect living room is centred around an inviting log burner set on a slate hearth - the perfect place to unwind on cooler evenings. The thoughtfully extended triple-aspect dining room is flooded with natural light and opens directly onto the garden via French doors, creating a wonderful space for entertaining family and friends.

The well-equipped kitchen offers practical workspace and storage, while a useful ground floor utility/WC adds convenience to everyday living.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms provide comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room, while the second double bedroom is served by a well-appointed family bathroom - ideal for guests or family living.

A Lifestyle Location

Beyond the cottage itself, the location truly elevates this home. With direct access to a network of beautiful countryside walks quite literally on the doorstep, the property is ideal for those who enjoy walking, nature and outdoor living. Rolling farmland, quiet lanes and scenic footpaths provide year-round opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape.

The stunning beach at Crackington Haven lies just 3 miles away, offering access to the breathtaking North Cornish Coastal Path, while Widemouth Bay - renowned for its expansive sands and excellent surf - is approximately 5 miles to the north.
Situated within a recognised dark sky area, evenings at Orchard Cottage are equally special.

With minimal light pollution, the night skies are remarkably clear - perfect for stargazing and enjoying Cornwall’s peaceful rural atmosphere.
The vibrant coastal town of Bude (around 9 miles) offers a comprehensive range of shops, schools, leisure facilities and sporting opportunities, while the nearby A39 provides excellent connectivity north and south.

Versatile Outdoor Living

The west-facing rear garden is a true highlight, enjoying afternoon and evening sunshine. Predominantly laid to lawn with well-stocked flower borders and a patio area adjoining the house, it offers an ideal setting for al fresco dining, summer gatherings or simply relaxing outdoors. A charming stream borders one side of the garden, enhancing the sense of peace and privacy.

A detached log cabin provides valuable additional space - perfect as a home office, creative studio, hobby room or workshop - offering flexibility for modern lifestyles.

Off-street parking for two vehicles is conveniently located to the side of the property.
