Adjacent to the property is a footpath which leads directly to the centre of Woolacombe in 10-15 minutes and on to the beach. The village amenities include a variety of shops, bars and restaurants, various other leisure facilities, primary school and health centre. The nearest larger town is Ilfracombe – being about 5 miles. Barnstaple, the regional centre is about 14 miles and offers many of the big-name shops, as well as Pannier Market, North Devon District Hospital, a rail link and direct access on to the A361 North Devon Link Road, which in a further 45 minutes or so joins the M5 Motorway at Jct.27.

Description - Greenacres was extensively modernised, reconfigured and upgraded to a high specification, with works completed in 2022. The most notable improvements included; rewiring, new plumbing, new insulation, new flooring and new roof. The house presents elevations of grey cement fibreboard with double glazed doors and windows, beneath a slate roof. The rear elevation is relieved by a First Floor balcony, from which the best of the magnificent sea views can be enjoyed. The grey contemporary then continues throughout the accommodation, excluding the kitchen units which provide a contrast. The rooms are bright, spacious and can be arranged as one large family home or for dual occupation by parts of the same family. Alternatively, the property also lends itself to home and income use. The house is complemented by landscaped gardens, which has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind and to follow the sun around. Generally, the emphasis is on entertaining, leisure and to enjoy fantastic views of the beach/ocean, as well as the sunsets – be that from the balcony, hot tub, principal rooms or terraces. The house is considered to be ideal as principal residence, 2nd home, UK base, lucrative holiday let or a combination of these uses. This is certainly a property which needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
