Situation & Amenities - Enjoying quite simply what is an unrivalled position in front line Woolacombe with enviable 180-degree panoramic views over Woolacombe Bay, Baggy and Hartland Points, Lundy Island and the Atlantic Ocean. The view is ever changing and also takes in a direct outlook over the golden sandy beach and surf as well as the commercial heart of Woolacombe with the scenic back drop of open countryside. We are advised by the vendors that from the sitting room window the sunsets are quite magnificent and binoculars are essential apparatus to monitor the various vistas. Woolacombe is famous for its three-mile sandy beach between Baggy and Morte points, regularly receives blue flag and premier sea side beach awards, and has also become one of Devon's premier surfing destinations. The village itself offers a range of shops, restaurants, bars and leisure activities and is surrounded by National Trust Land with a wide variety of trails and walks to enjoy. The equally well-regarded villages of Croyde and Saunton are both located a short drive away, each offering further sandy beaches and in the case of Saunton a popular Championship golf course. Nearby Ilfracombe has an attractive harbour, Exmoor National Park and Lynton/Lynmouth, in dramatic coastal scenery, are easily accessible by car. North Devon's main trading centre of Barnstaple is approximately 12 miles and offers a wide range of amenities and facilities one would associate with a large town including theatre and District Hospital. It also provides transport links on to the A361 (North Devon Link Road) which in turn connects to the M5 at Junction 27, where rail links to London (Paddington in about 2 hours) can be found at Tiverton Parkway. The nearest International airports are at Bristol and Exeter.

There are well tended communal gardens to the rear, including a private shed for surfboards etc. The property is considered ideal as a principal residence or second home, however no holiday letting is allowed (other than to family and friends) however, as freeholder, the owners can overturn this policy by consensus but this apparently unlikely at this juncture.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
