On the first floor is a huge 38’ x 18’ open-plan living area, semi divided by a bespoke oak staircase which is galleried above the stair well with oak stanchions and glazed safety panels. The gallery semi divides a wonderful triple aspect sitting area and a superbly fitted kitchen/breakfast area.

On the ground floor are three bedrooms with the master bedroom having a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room, there is also a well equipped family bathroom and separate utility room. Externally Dovecote Barn has two private parking areas providing plenty of parking for numerous vehicles. To the rear of the barn, (directly accessed from one of the parking areas), is a lawned garden with hedged and fenced boundaries leading round to a shingled sun terrace on the southern gable end of the barn which will be the perfect vantage point to enjoy the sun throughout the day and the lovely rural views. A path then continues along the front of the barn accessing the front door. At the back of the barn, external stairs will provide direct access to the first floor sitting area. LOCATION The farmstead at Borough comprised a former farmhouse and a collection of rustic stone barns which are now converted into three separate dwellings, of which Dovecote Barn is

Ref: LCAA7793 3

one. The former farmstead is situated in a delightful, peaceful, rural area of mainly farmland with scattered hamlets and villages, in a near coastal location on the Devon/Cornwall border, close to the coastal resort of Bude and some fantastic beaches and cliff top walks along the South West Coastal Footpath on the nearby Atlantic Cornish coastline. A short drive away are the two fantastic beaches at Widemouth Bay providing excellent surfing and bathing with further beaches to be enjoyed around Bude which is a thriving town and popular seaside resort, yet doesn’t suffer the overcrowding that some other Cornish coastal resorts do. Bude provides an array of services including primary and secondary schools, and excellent array of mixed high street shops/businesses, the Bude and North Cornwall Golf Club, a river and canal, both of which run through the town meeting the Atlantic Ocean beside Summerleaze Beach which is a beautiful gold sandy beach offering bathing and surfing. There are village shops nearby at Marhamchurch and Stratton and the pretty Cornish lanes connect across the county to Launceston where there is access to the A30 which then remains dual carriageway all the way northwards to Exeter and joins the national motorway network. The A39 (Atlantic Highway) provides access to both north and south along the coast with many other fantastic beaches and seaside villages to be enjoyed northwards into Devon and southwards into Cornwall. A very convenient location for either a main residence or holiday home owners and Dovecote Barn is likely to be of great appeal to both and should be viewed at the earliest opportunity.
