These offer an excellent range of local/national shops, professional services, leisure amenities and schooling to secondary level. The nearby filling station/convenience store at Horrelsford also provides the day to day essentials. The regional North Devon's Centre of Barnstaple with its acclaimed shopping centre is about 45 minute drive and has a wider range of amenities and via the North Devon link road gives access to the M5 near Tiverton. This area of Devon is still largely unspoilt with the Rivers Waldon and Torridge meandering through rolling farmland. The nearby prestigious "Woodford Bridge Country Club" offers some of the finest leisure/sporting facilities in the region whilst the very popular farm shop, Lizzie's Larder, is within walking distance of the property. The spectacular North Devon/Cornwall Coast, Dartmoor and Exmoor are within easy driving distance, whilst the local rivers offer superb opportunities for the keen game fisherman.
