Situation - This fantastic opportunity is situated in the small unspoilt hamlet of Meddon which is on the outskirts of the stunning Hartland Peninsula with open countryside in all directions. The nearby South West Coast Path is renowned for its wonderful walks, typified by steep valleys, sandy coves and beaches. Only 3 miles away is the renowned Welcombe Mouth, which is a quiet and tranquil beach, much quieter than some of the sandy beaches further down the coast, due to it's limited access and remoteness, it is certainly one of North Devon's best kept secrets! The village has a good range of amenities including a period Inn (serving daytime and evening meals), general store/Post Office and active village church. The bigger village of Hartland is just 5 miles away with a thriving community and an excellent range of local amenities including cafe, shops, Post Office, medical centre and a primary school. There are churches, a variety of clubs and societies nearby. Popular attractions include nearby Clovelly, Hartland Abbey the 16th Century Hartland Quay with its shipwreck museum, and Docton Mill Gardens. There is fishing at Tamar Lakes, 5 miles away, surf schools nearby and sandy beaches at both Westward Ho! and Bude which are both a short drive away.

The Cornish border is only a mile away and the coastal town of Bude is within a short drive, offering extensive facilities, further education establishments, banks and other amenities.

Barnstaple, with its rail connection to Exeter, is around 40 minutes and Junction 27 of the M5 and Tiverton Parkway rail station are approximately 90 minutes away. From Tiverton Parkway, there are regular services to London Paddington, the Midlands, the North, Scotland and the South West.

Services - We understand all services are near by.

Agent Note - A lot of the initial groundwork and access drive has been cleared and created by the current owner. There is space for a caravan/mobile home for anybody looking to live on site while completing the build.
