This spacious three-storey Victorian townhouse overlooks Crooklets Beach in Bude, North Cornwall, making it an ideal beachside retreat for families or groups of up to twelve. Just 150 metres from the soft sand, the house is separated from the beach by Crooklets downs – a large green space perfect for a sunbathe or for children to play – and sits adjacent to the Bude and North Cornwall Golf Club.
Inside, period character meets contemporary interiors throughout. The ground floor features a large living space with sea views, two corner sofas seating twelve, electric mood fires, and a 52-inch TV. The open-plan kitchen diner seats twelve and comes fully equipped, with a range oven, Nespresso coffee machine, and cocktail bar among the highlights. A utility room with washer and dryer sits just off the kitchen. Upstairs, six bedrooms sleep twelve, with four super king zip-and-link beds that convert to singles and two sets of bunk beds. Several rooms enjoy sea views and original feature fireplaces. Three bathrooms include one with a freestanding claw-foot bath and separate rainfall shower. A cot and highchair are available on request, and WiFi is provided. Outside, the enclosed front terrace overlooks the beach with a large dining table seating twelve and deck chairs – the perfect spot for al fresco dinner at sunset. A small enclosed courtyard to the rear offers a quieter place to sit. Parking is available for three vehicles. Guests also have use of an indoor heated communal swimming pool nearby.
Bude's pastel-painted beach huts line sandy white beaches in this charming seaside town.

Browse boutique shops and restaurants along the canal wharf, take a pedal boat along the canal, or ride the cycle paths with the wind in your hair.
