The property occupies an outstanding position near the pretty village of Wembworthy, a short distance to the west of the Taw Valley between Exmoor and Dartmoor. The surrounding gently undulating and unspoilt Devon countryside, affords a predominately agricultural landscape of mainly pasture and arable land interspersed with an abundance of wooded valleys. Wembworthy itself is a small rural village benefitting from a Church, with a local public house.
The village of Winkleigh lies just 2.8 miles from the property and boasts two public houses, a post office, butchers, a general store, veterinary practice and a doctors' surgery. This larger village also provides a community centre, a village hall and a sports centre, together with a church, a chapel, and a well regarded primary school.
The small town of Chulmleigh to the east provides a thriving and very active local community which has managed to retain a good range of local services including Chulmleigh Academy providing highly regarded primary and secondary schooling, a sports centre, post office, various shops, a health centre, dentist, public houses, restaurants and a historic town hall.
Despite its rural position the property still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and main routes of communication with the A377 providing an easy link to the larger towns of South Molton, Crediton and Barnstaple, each providing an extensive range of everyday shopping, banking, recreational and educational facilities.
From Tiverton the A361 provides quick and easy access to the M5 motorway (Junction 27). There are nearby rail stations on the Barnstaple to Exeter (Tarka) line at Eggesford and Kings Nympton. Main line rail services are available at Exeter and Tiverton Parkway, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
The property is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside which provides a wealth of outdoor activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, sea, coarse and game fishing, and golf courses at Libbaton, High Bullen, Portmore and Saunton. To the north and south respectively the Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks offer beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths, whilst the stunning North Devon coast is also easily accessible, with popular sandy beaches at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.
