5 Bedroom Cottage in Upton

Perfectly positioned between the fabulous resort of Bude and the vast, golden sands of Widemouth Bay, this superlative property is designed for family fun or a get-together with friends. Keen walkers can join the South West Coast Path just 200 metres from the property. Leave the car at home and enjoy a walk down Bude canal and into Bude, or take advantage of the cycle path into the town (1.5 miles). Here you’ll find shops and restaurants, as well as the famous tidal pool on Summerleaze Beach, where there are also convenient facilities and beach huts to hire. To the south, Widemouth Bay Beach (1 mile) is popular with surfers and is lifeguarded at peak times; it also has plenty of rock pools to explore at its southern end. In summer everyone can have fun at the Monster Slip and Slide (3.5 miles). Further afield, there’s the Milky Way Adventure Park (17.5 miles) for a family day out, and the Roadford Activity Centre (21 miles), which offers water-based adventures such as kayaking and sailing.


Designed with great flair and style, this exceptional house is full of light and offers plenty of space to spend time together and relax in comfort. Lovely touches such as colourful artwork, patterned wallpaper and interesting lighting features add to the aesthetic, complementing the high-quality furnishings and fittings. Enter through the porch, storing outdoor gear in the walk-in cloakroom, before taking five steps up and into the impressive, open-plan living area. The superb kitchen includes everything you could want for cooking up hearty group meals, and there’s a breakfast bar for morning coffees or quick snacks. The dining area comfortably seats ten and, like the kitchen area, has glazed doors leading directly to the main garden. There’s a small sofa in the kitchen, while the lounge – which leads off the dining area – features plenty of soft seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner. Another set of patio doors leads to a private, enclosed front garden, making this a lovely space in which to relax together at any time of the year. Just off the dining area, a dedicated children's playroom offers a table and chairs for drawing, puzzles and books. Also on the ground floor is a king-size bedroom, as well as a WC and a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Upstairs, the remaining four bedrooms await. The first is a spacious super-king-size master bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a TV and an en-suite bathroom featuring a bath and a separate shower – a stunning space in which to unwind. There’s also a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, plus a twin and another double which share the family bathroom on the landing with the downstairs bedroom.


The generous outdoor space is a real feature of this property, with two enclosed gardens providing plenty of room to relax and play. One garden is accessed directly from the lounge, while the larger, main garden can be reached from the kitchen and dining areas. On the same level as the house, there’s a patio, a dining area with a Weber gas BBQ and a hot tub for leisurely soaks. Younger members of the group will enjoy the trampoline (with enclosure), or can go up four steps to the raised, lawned play area, with a football goal and wooden play equipment. Private parking for up to four cars is available on the driveway at the front of the property.
