Boasting 2 double Bedrooms (including 1 En-suite), a generously proportioned Lounge, a bright and inviting Kitchen / Diner which was updated approximately 12 months ago. A designated parking space is conveniently situated nearby.
Residents can attend events held by Kenwith Castle care home as well as use the facilities available there, such as the on-site bar (open on a Friday evening). Furthermore, residents can take advantage of the beautiful surroundings, including the well-stocked, 6-acre carp lake which offers great opportunities for walking and even a spot of fishing. The newly opened Pavilion café, managed by Care South, is a delightful place to socialise and meet friends and includes a small shop where you can buy essential products.
Abbotsham is a delightful village central to some lovely swathes of Devonshire countryside. A major bonus for walkers is the South-West Coast Path that is located close by. The more athletic buyers can enjoy a beautiful stroll to Westward Ho! or Buck Mills and Clovelly. The rugged and breathtaking Greencliffs is where a seam of very rare type of coal emerges from the earth. Bideford Black as it’s called, is only found in this region and you can find pieces of it strewn along the rocks. Take some home to use as charcoal!
Abbotsham itself enjoys a good pub, a convenience store / post office, primary school, church and village hall that can be used for community events. Take a visit to the restaurant Pig On The Hill close by for a good feed all year round. Yet, you’ll never be short of places to eat and drink with Appledore, Westward Ho! and Bideford on your doorstep with their cornucopia of restaurants and pubs. For youngsters there’s the famous fun park The Big Sheep, that’s so popular with kids far and wide. For grownups there’s a brewery and regular farm shows. It’s an ideal day out within easy walking distance for any visitors who turn up to see you in the warmer months.
It’s within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east.
