Why the owner chose a home in this location
My wife and I fell in love with the north coast of Cornwall in the late sixties. We decided it was the ideal place for a family holiday home and so it has proved for our children and grand children. This part of Cornwall really has changed very little in 40 years, it still has a fifties feel to it which is ideal.
Unique benefits of the property
We love the fact there are no tourists to speak of round us on a hill with views of the sea...and the nearby town of Bude is still old fashioned and not crowded. It's always easy to park at Widemouth Bay. We love walking the coastal footpath and exploring the remote beaches, and wonderful churches in the area, or hiking up Rough Tor. On a sunny day it's perfect. Even when it's raining which is almost never, you know there are National Trust houses and the Eden Project not far away..or a book in front of our open fire.
