Pilton is also well placed for access to the North Devon District Hospital.
The property is situated close to local amenities in Pilton, including hospital, an Indian takeaway, pubs, fish and chip shop, a vets, infant and junior schools along with a secondary school and Pilton Park. Barnstaple town centre is within easy walking distance, or by bus service, and offers an excellent range of high street shops, banks, leisure facilities, cinema and a thriving market. Pilton is well placed for access to the glorious North Devon coast which is a short drive away which include the wonderful surfing beaches at Saunton Sands, Croyde and Woolacombe. The North Devon Link Road is also convenient and a bus service operates in the area. A branch railway line links Barnstaple with Exeter St. David's, with further connecting services to London and beyond, and to Exeter Central for the excellent shopping facilities.
