Situation & Amenities - The sought-after village of Landkey offers amenities including The Castle Inn public house, which serves food, a well-regarded primary school, parish church, pretty village Millennium green space with stream – which provides a safe space for children to play, as well as dog walking. The nearby village of Swimbridge offers further amenities including pub - which also serves food - and further primary school. Located between Landkey and Swimbridge is Venn Valley Vineyard, which is one of only a few vineyards in North Devon and has an on-site café, hosting evening food events. The property is just 6 miles from West Buckland village, and is therefore within the West Buckland school catchment area. Barnstaple, North Devon’s regional centre is about 3 miles and houses the area’s main business, commercial, shopping and leisure venues, as well as the North Devon District Hospital. Fast road access to the area is provided by the A361 North Devon Link Road, which connects directly with the M5 at Jct.27, where there is also a mainline railway station to the London Paddington line at Tiverton Parkway. There is also access to Exmoor National Park to the North-East, offering excellent walking and riding. The property is also well located for exploring the whole of the North Devon area, including the dramatic coastline – which at its nearest lies about 8 miles beyond Barnstaple and includes some of the best beaches in the South West at Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton (also with Championship Golf Course) and Woolacombe to name but a few! Mill Leat Gardens is a quiet residential cul-de-sac of just 5 properties, off a quiet lane and close to the village centre but also with delightful views towards open countryside.
