Situation & Amenities - The property is located on the fringe of Exmoor and the favoured village of Stoke Rivers which is a pretty unspoilt village with a good community spirit. The nearby villages of Bratton Fleming and Goodleigh offer community facilities including primary schooling as well as the prestigious West Buckland School being only 10 minutes away. There is a fantastic gastro-pub in the next village, Goodleigh - a nice place to walk along the bridleway to for Sunday lunch. Barnstaple town centre is a 10-minute drive away and as the Regional Centre, offers the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues as well as North Devon district hospital. At South Molton, the North Devon link road can be joined giving access, in a further 30 minutes or so, to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway and where Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. North Devon’s famous surfing beaches are less than half an hour away and Exmoor National Park is just 10 minutes away.
