West Buckland, Barnstaple, Devon, EX32

An outstanding newly built detached residence enjoying high spec accommodation and splendid views.

Location - The property is located on the outskirts of a popular rural village enjoying delightful open views over the surrounding countryside towards Exmoor National Park. Whilst the property enjoys a tranquil edge of village location, it also benefits from easy access to a range of amenities, the coast and Exmoor National Park. The highly regarded private school of West Buckland is also conveniently located within the village.

Exmoor National Park is on the doorstep just five miles away, and is famous for its undulating moors and pastureland, with streams and rivers running down through deep wooded combes and valleys to the spectacular cliffs along the North Devon coastline. There are outstanding opportunities for walking and cycling, with an abundance of wildlife and nature within Exmoor with breath-taking scenery and vistas to be enjoyed.

As well as world class countryside surrounding the property, there is also easy access to the North Devon coastline which, in 2022, was selected as a ‘World Surfing Reserve’ (WSR) – the first in the UK and only cold-water WSR in the world. The fantastic sandy beaches of Instow and Saunton Sands are about 16 miles away, whilst the coastal villages of Combe Martin and Lynmouth are slightly closer.

The regional centre of Barnstaple is about 7.5 miles away and offers all the area’s main business, shopping, commercial and leisure facilities, whilst the A361 North Devon Link Road is just over a mile away which offers excellent transport links to South Molton, Tiverton Parkway and the motorway network beyond.

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. Alternatively, Tiverton Parkway Mainline Railway Station is around a forty minute drive, which connects to London and beyond.
