" A modernised and extended 5/6 bedroom detached chalet residence in convenient & favoured semi rural position enjoying fine views. Double Garage, Stabling, Log Cabin, 3 Acres.

SITUATION AND AMENITIES Brookfield is set in its own ground, fronting a quiet, little used country lane, on the semi rural outskirts of Landkey village. The property backs onto a stream and open farmland, and there are views to both front and rear over open countryside. At the same time, the centre of Landkey village is about a third of a mile and provides a good range of local amenities, including a thriving store, Post Office, two public houses, primary school, places of worship and the benefit of a regular bus service which runs between Barnstaple and the market town of South Molton. Barnstaple is approximately 3 miles and located on the banks of the Rivers Taw and Yeo. The town is North Devon's regional centre, and houses the area's main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues, as well as the renowned Pannier Market. A short distance away, access is available to the North Devon Link Road, leading through to Junction 27 of the M5, part of the National Motorway Network, whilst Barnstaple Railhead provides a link to the National Railway System. North Devon's rugged coastline including the popular resorts of Appledore, Croyde, Instow and Woolacombe are within half an hours drive, as is Exmoor.
