Hersham, Bude, Cornwall, EX23

"Seller's Insights" -
"Butterfly Barn, named by the children the first summer we moved here when they noticed the Buddleia's brimming with butterflies! The barn is surrounded by endless blue skies with a glimpse of Rough Tor.
We are home to an abundance of wildlife; deer at the bottom of the garden, barn owls in the oak tree, bats in the eaves, and birds a plenty.
The land is edged by trees laden with sloe's perfect for Christmas gin making, and enough Blackberries for all the jam you will ever need! Plus the orchard provides plenty of apples and our grape vines have flourished in the last 2 years.
The small community is really friendly and we all help each other out when needed. We sit above Bude, and you can easily cycle into town, the village shop and pub are at the bottom of the lane , approximately one mile away in Stratton.
The walking in the area is great and if you have horses the lanes are quiet, apart form the cows and sheep crossing between fields.
It's the best of both worlds, quiet with no light pollution ( great for the telescope), with the town and the beaches just a short distance away."
