Although rural, the property is by no means isolated as the village of Fremington and favoured coastal village of Instow are both about 2 miles. At Fremington there is a medical centre, parade of shops and Fremington Quay, where the Tarka Trail can be accessed. Instow is one of North Devon’s premier coastal/estuary villages, renowned for its beach, dunes, cricket club, yacht club and a number of well-regarded eateries and pubs. The market town of Bideford and regional centre of Barnstaple are both about 4 miles. As the regional centre, Barnstaple houses the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues, as well as live theatre and district hospital. Local schools are within easy access, including the reputable public schools of Kingsley at Bideford, West Buckland and Blundell’s at Tiverton a little further afield. The property is about ½ hour’s driving distance of the favoured surfing beaches of Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton (also with Championship Golf Course) and Woolacombe. Exmoor National Park is a similar distance. The A39/A361 North Devon Link Road is about 3 miles and affords access through to Tiverton, from where dual carriageway access leads to Jct.27 of the M5 Motorway and where there is also Tiverton Parkway station where trains to London Paddington are approximately 2 hours.

Description - If you are searching for a contemporary and stylish new bungalow which exudes quality, is ready to move into, in a peaceful, remote but not isolated location then look no further! There are so many ‘wow factors’ at Little Knightacott Barn – both inside and out. These range from the fabulous open plan reception area with vaulted ceiling, atrium windows and bi-fold doors which flood the room with natural light as well as bringing the outside in, to the standard of the bathrooms and fitted kitchen with appliances, not to mention the designer light fittings internally. The clever landscaping of the drive and garden areas externally complete the scene as the developer/vendors have created a special, individual home which is also energy efficient and eco-friendly. They have even thought ahead by making the garage suitable to be adapted into a fourth ensuite bedroom - subject to planning permission and a buyer’s requirements. There is ample room to erect additional garaging/car port – again subject to planning permission.
