A beautifully restored family home with several additional dwellings, surrounded by rolling countryside and within close proximity to the coast.

Description

Waterstone is nestled in the tranquil, rolling hills of the Cornish countryside, positioned at the end of a long private drive just four miles from the coast and near the village of Marhamchurch.

This secluded property is located in a sheltered valley with stunning views across the surrounding countryside and towards the Atlantic Ocean. Nearby is the charming coastal town of Bude, accessible by a scenic walk along a picturesque canal. Bude, situated on Cornwall’s North coast, is renowned for its beaches, surf, and rugged coastline. Within a ten-minute drive, you can reach beaches like Widemouth Bay, Sandymouth, and Summerleaze, each known for their surfing spots and beachside culture.

The area offers numerous independent dining options, ranging from seaside bistros and canal barge cafés to upscale restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, traditional pub fare, and gourmet vegetarian dishes.

Waterstone is ideally located to explore the attractions of Cornwall and Devon, including the Eden Project, Lanhydrock House, and Tintagel Castle.

Additionally, the area offers activities such as sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and visiting Bude Sea Pool.
The Southwest Coast Path provides access to hiking along scenic cliffs, beaches, and through woodlands. Local amenities include bicycle rentals, golf, and minigolf.

Waterstone House
This carefully restored property was originally a farm and a range of outbuildings, abandoned since 1948 and dating back to the 15th century. Now transformed into a beautiful family home, it includes several additional dwellings and holiday accommodations, all set in an unspoiled and private environment.

Waterstone House is surrounded by mature grounds with ancient oak trees and lovely views stretching down to the sea at Widemouth Bay.

The property features a thatched roof with oak trusses and beams throughout. The core of the property is the lovely dining hall which gives access to all the rooms in the house. There is a welcoming kitchen/living room which enjoys views down the valley towards Widemouth Bay and features a designer handmade kitchen, Esse Ironheart wood-burner, and access to a rear terrace with a covered seating area.

An inviting sitting room has a wood-burning stove in one direction from the dining hall and in the other, is a home office with further study beyond.

The beautifully appointed bedrooms, two with en-suites and a further bathroom are accessible via two solid oak staircases.

The first floor features an open-plan kitchen/sitting room with oak trusses and a bedroom beyond. There is also a shower room and separate WC. On the ground floor, there is a large studio space, perfect for a home office, gym, or yoga studio.

The first floor is accessed by external steps leading to Lofty, a well-designed one-bedroom flat. The ground floor also includes garaging and workshop space and The Old Granary and Lofty are designed so that, subject to necessary consents, they could be expanded into a larger two storey building.
