Despite its quiet and peaceful location the property is well situated for easy access to the surrounding districts and main routes of communication.
Nearby is the pretty village of West Buckland, providing a renowned private school, whilst Brayford and Filleigh both offer public primary schooling. The bustling market town of South Molton provides a good range of local services including shops, schools and other amenities. Barnstaple and Tiverton are both easily accessible via the A361 North Devon link and offer a wider range of facilities, together with further schooling and entertainments. The A361 also provides a quick link to Junction 27 of the M5 motorway, with a mainline intercity rail station at Tiverton Parkway and international airports at Exeter and Bristol. The property is located just to the south west of Exmoor and is surrounded by rolling countryside offering a wide range of recreational pursuits including miles of walks, riding and cycling both on the moor itself and in the neighbouring environment. Fishing can be enjoyed on the rivers Bray, Mole and Taw and the dramatic North Devon coastline is within about 25 minutes travelling distance with its pretty villages and popular sandy beaches.
