Tucked away in a wonderfully peaceful rural setting with no near neighbours, the property enjoys a superb position just a short drive east of the Barnstaple–Tiverton North Devon Link Road. From here, far-reaching countryside views stretch across rolling fields towards the distant hills of Exmoor National Park, creating a truly idyllic backdrop.
Despite its secluded feel, the property remains well connected to a number of charming North Devon villages, including Landkey, Bishops Tawton, Chittlehampton and Swimbridge. These welcoming communities offer village inns, primary schools, places of worship and easy access to miles of scenic countryside paths and bridleways, including the popular walks around Codden Hill.
Just a short drive away lies Barnstaple, the historic borough and administrative centre of North Devon. Here you’ll find an excellent range of shopping, business and leisure facilities, including the Green Lanes Shopping Centre, major supermarkets, a live theatre, modern leisure centre, tennis courts and the nearby Portmore Golf Course.
The surrounding region is renowned for its spectacular landscapes and dramatic coastline. From the rugged cliffs and sweeping valleys of Exmoor National Park to the world-famous surfing beaches of Croyde, Saunton and Woolacombe, the area offers outstanding opportunities for outdoor living. Sailing and boating can be enjoyed at Instow and Appledore, while golf enthusiasts are equally well catered for, with highly regarded courses including Saunton and Westward Ho!. The area also benefits from a selection of excellent private schools such as West Buckland, Blundell’s at Tiverton and Shebbear College.

The house blends period character with everyday comfort, retaining many original features that add warmth and charm throughout, including attractive pine doors and traditional detailing. Light-filled living spaces create a welcoming atmosphere, while conservatories on both the ground and first floor provide delightful spots to relax and take in the surrounding views.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a range of useful outbuildings and a substantial stone barn offering exciting potential for a variety of future uses.
