SITUATION The property occupies a particularly attractive elevated position within the coastal parish of St Gennys, just north of the much-loved seaside village of Crackington Haven. The area is renowned for its dramatic coastline, sandy beaches, rolling countryside, and wonderful walking opportunities. Crackington Haven offers a popular beach, a public house serving food, and two cafés, while Higher Crackington benefits from a community shop and village institute.
The North Cornish coastline provides a superb setting for the property, with Widemouth Bay to the North and the historic harbour village of Boscastle and legendary Tintagel to the South. The nearby town of Bude provides an excellent range of everyday amenities, together with its beaches, canal, shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.
The A30 can be accessed at Launceston, providing links towards Exeter and the national road network, whilst Okehampton railway station provides a useful mainline rail connection. The location therefore combines a peaceful coastal environment with relatively convenient access to the wider region.
DESCRIPTION Coxford Lodge represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial, individually designed coastal home in one of North Cornwall's most desirable locations, combining excellent family accommodation, flexible living space, impressive gardens, and outstanding sea views. This impressive architect designed home has been thoughtfully conceived and constructed by reputable local builders and tradespeople, with the project overseen by our client throughout. The result is a substantial and well-presented property offering excellent levels of natural light, generous proportions, and a particularly strong connection to its coastal surroundings.The house is of timber-frame construction and is exceptionally well insulated, contributing to an EPC rating of B. UPVC double-glazed windows are fitted throughout, while a Grant boiler supplies the central heating to the property.
ACCOMMODATION The accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides six bedrooms and four bathrooms, together with spacious reception and family areas. The house has been designed with a number of light and spacious hallways, porches and landings, culminating in an attractive first-floor gallery. This makes a wonderful sitting area from which to enjoy the sunshine and views towards the sea.
The principal reception room is a particularly generous sitting room, whilst the formal dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining. The impressive kitchen/breakfast room forms a natural heart to the house, with a central island, Quartz work surfaces and a range of quality integrated appliances.
The master bedroom suite is dual aspect, taking full advantage of the elevated position with superb sea and coastal views. It incorporates built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms also benefit from their own en-suite facilities, providing excellent accommodation for family and guests.
The property also offers potential for annexe-style accommodation, if required. The existing utility room could potentially be adapted to provide a kitchen, whilst one of the first-floor bedrooms could serve as a sitting room, subject of course to any necessary consents and alterations.
OUTSIDE The property is approached over a tarmacadam driveway, providing ample parking and turning in front of the house. Retaining walls and well-stocked, established flowerbeds create an attractive and welcoming approach.
The landscaped front garden is accessed through a particularly charming wisteria-covered archway, beyond which are mature shrubs and established planting, providing colour, structure and privacy around the house.
Large paved patios extend to the other sides of the property, providing attractive and relatively low-maintenance outdoor spaces from which to enjoy the sunshine at different times of the day. To the rear is a useful aluminum storage shed on a concrete base. The elevated position also allows good countryside views in most directions, with the coastal outlook providing a particularly special aspect.
The integral double garage has an electrically operated automatic door, concrete floor and ample workshop space, providing excellent provision for vehicles, hobbies, storage and equipment.
