A range of generous outbuildings accompany the property, offering excellent storage, workshop space, or scope for conversion. With its combination of space, privacy, and potential, this cottage represents a rare chance to secure a slice of rural life in a desirable location.
The property occupies an outstanding rural position on the edge of the pretty hamlet of Lovacott, situated within glorious North Devon countryside comprising a predominantly agricultural landscape of rolling hills and river valleys interspersed with an abundance of woodland. Despite its peaceful rural location Upways is extremely well situated for easy access to the surrounding districts, enjoying convenient access to Barnstaple, Bideford and the main routes of communication.
The small village of Lower Lovacott offers its inhabitants a primary school, village hall, garage, chapel, nursery and a bus stop. Newton Tracey is about close by with a popular public house, whilst the principle North Devon town of Barnstaple lies only about 6 miles to the north east, providing an excellent range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities befitting those of an important regional centre, including the North Devon District Hospital. To the north east the Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline, whilst to the north and west are the popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.
From Barnstaple the A39 and hence A361 North Devon Link Road provide easy access to the M5 motorway (Junction 27) at Tiverton, with mainline intercity rail links available at Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington approx. 2 hours). The cathedral city and county town of Exeter is about 40 miles away, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
