SITUATION The property is delightfully set, south facing within its own private gardens and grounds to the centre of the picturesque Sterridge Valley and about a mile from the centre of the old world village of Berrynarbor which offers good local facilities of primary school, post office/stores and noted village inn, together with an ancient parish church. About a mile further to the north is the dramatic North Devon coastline set around the picturesque cove of Watermouth and the North Devon coastal footpaths. The property is set within the lovely scenery just inland from the coast and is within 10 miles to the north of Barnstaple, the ancient borough and administrative centre for North Devon which provides a comprehensive range of facilities including Green Lane shopping centre, out of town superstores, live theatre, leisure centre, Tarka Tennis centre and having direct access on to the A361/North Devon Link Road which provides much improved communications to and from the North Devon area, connecting directly as it does through to junction 27 on the M5 motorway to the east side of Tiverton where there is also the Parkway railway station, from where journey times to London/Paddington are approximately 2 hours distant. DESCRIPTION The property is formed from the original farmstead part of the traditional farmhouse and buildings at that stage being in need of complete refurbishment and in part renovation and this was done very tastefully to provide the current period farmhouse of considerable charm and character being particularly well presented and offering comfortable family accommodation. One of the traditional buildings was developed to provide the current self contained letting cottage, currently occupied by a relative, and there is an additional single storey annexe attached to the house that can be utilised either as additional accommodation to the main dwelling or as at present by a dependant relative. The property being in the beautiful Sterridge Valley does offer the opportunity for both of these units to be used for holiday lets, the property being quietly set yet within a couple of miles of the dramatic North Devon Coastline. All of the property, house, cottages, buildings and land are superbly presented.
