The property also enjoys easy access to the North Devon District Hospital, which is located on the edge of Barnstaple, around 3.5 miles away.

There is an array of country pursuits available locally including walking, hunting, shooting and fishing. The stunning North Devon Coastline is also easily accessible with world-renowned surfing and sandy beaches at Croyde and Woolacombe, both within 9 miles.
Communications The area can be accessed from Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway, and along the A361 North Devon Link Road which leads onto the A39 Atlantic Highway. The nearest train station is located at the regional centre of Barnstaple, which connects to Exeter, where there are regular mainline rail services to London (Paddington) in just over 2 hours.
