# 10 bedroom semi-detached house for sale (EX23 8RF) ## Property Details | Key | Value | |-----|-------| | Address | 4 DOWNS VIEW, BUDE, CORNWALL EX23 8RF | | Price | £444,950 | | Bedrooms | 10 | | Last sold | £444,950 Aug 2016 | ## Description 4 Downs View is a very large, flexible home with adaptable 10 bedroom accommodation set over 4 storeys. On the lower ground floor there are two double bedrooms, Lounge, gym and shower room/WC and it would be simple to make this into an independent apartment as it has its own separate entrance and courtyard and the gym could be utilised as the kitchen. At the moment, this is used for the owners own accommodation, with the stairs linking this to the main kitchen and private dining room on the ground floor. The lounge is at the front, with an additional sitting area enjoying lovely views over the golf course. The ground floor is completed by a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room/wc and a separate w/c. Both the hallway and the first floor landing feature an older style stained glass window allowing in natural light. The first floor has 4 double bedrooms, with the master bedroom boasting a bay window with the views and an en-suite shower room/wc. All the other bedrooms have a hand basin and there is also bathroom and another w/c on this level. Two more double bedrooms one en-suite and one single bedroom along with a separate shower room w/c are found on the top floor. The central heating is fired by mains gas, and the windows are double glazed and some with hard wood surrounds. The present owners have improved and maintained this large property over the years and these works include the driveway at the front which is a huge bonus along Downs View, fully paving the rear garden for ease of maintenance and generally keeping on top of the internal and external decoration Having previously been used as a guesthouse, it would be fairly straight forward to start up this kind of business in readiness for the next summer season. All the bedrooms which don't have en-suites are plenty big enough to take one, with the private owners accommodation ready to go and the location is one of the best for guesthouses in the town. The size of this house needs to be seen to be believed.
