LOCATION
The sought after village of Swimbridge offers a good range of amenities including excellent Pre-school and School and popular pub. The village is within 5.5 miles of Barnstaple town centre with a further range of shops, banks and leisure facilities. The North Devon Link Road is also convenient and a branch railway line links Barnstaple with Exeter St. David’s and Exeter Central for the excellent shopping facilities.
From Barnstaple continue out of town up Newport Road and at the traffic lights proceed straight across into Landkey Road. Continue out to the town outskirts and after passing the turning for the North Devon Hospice on the right. Continue on this road for 2 miles, passing the garage and Portmore golf course. When you arrive at the junction take the right and drive through the village of Landkey and into the centre of Swimbridge village where you turn left at the village square sign posted Yarnacott and Gunn. Follow this road for approximately half a mile where you will pass over the bridge which crosses the North Devon Link Road. Immediately thereafter, turn left into unadopted ‘no through’ country lane. Follow this lane for approximately half a mile until you reach the entrance track into Welcombe Farm which is a further ¼ mile or so thereafter. The house can be found as the lane bends to the left and at the bottom is the house.
