The coastal town of Woolacombe, renowned worldwide for its sandy beach, lies approximately 2.5 miles to the west and the nearby town of Ilfracombe has the Landmark Theatre, a doctors surgery as well as banks, shops and supermarkets.
The market town of Barnstaple, about 14 miles away, holds a weekly pannier market, and provides an extended range of shops including numerous major retailers and supermarkets, as well as leisure and commercial facilities.
The sandy beaches of Saunton, Croyde and Putsborough and the Exmoor National Park are within easy reach of the property.
Description - The site is known as Swiftsure and is an exceptional development site in one of the more unspoilt locations along the North Devon coast with planning consent in place for the demolition of the existing barn and the erection of an individually designed, contemporary new house with it's design focussed on the panoramic views towards the sea.
The proposed new dwelling will have uninterrupted views towards the Atlantic Ocean and will include approximately 279 m2 of accommodation over two floors. The approved layout has a spacious and light-filled kitchen / dining / living room on the ground floor, with a separate pantry and utility / boot room, a snug / office, an entrance lobby and two double bedrooms each with en-suites.
