Poundfield Lane, Stratton

Tucked away in one of Stratton’s most peaceful and discreet lanes, Irstead House is a striking late-1950s architectural home, built ahead of its time and once featured in an architectural magazine for its innovative design. Having remained in the same family since construction, the property carries a rich local history — including its early use as a doctor’s surgery serving the Stratton community — making it a truly rare and characterful offering.

Set within approximately 0.38 acres, the property now requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, yet offers enormous scope for those seeking a project, a contemporary redesign, or multi-generational living. The layout provides versatile and unusually generous ground-floor living spaces, large picture windows, and a distinctly mid-century architectural aesthetic, offering the perfect foundation for a striking renovation.

With the benefit of Outline Planning Permission (PA24/09843) granted for the construction of a separate single dwelling on land south of the existing house, future owners have the opportunity to unlock additional value, create space for relatives, or pursue a development project (all matters reserved except access).

Enjoying a private elevated position with mature gardens, established trees and glimpses across Stratton’s historic church and surrounding valley, Irstead House represents an exceptional opportunity to secure a generous home with heritage, space and long-term potential — all within easy reach of Bude, Stratton Hospital, schools, amenities and the stunning North Cornwall coastline.
