Long Close is an impressive development of 20 new homes in Landkey. Nestled perfectly in the rolling North Devon countryside, the village which remains largely unspoilt and retains much of the character of a rural country community.Tucked into the rolling green folds of the North Devon countryside, Landkey is one of those villages people fall for the moment they arrive. It has held onto its character where so many have lost theirs: a genuine rural community, largely unspoilt, where neighbours still know one another and life moves at a gentler, kinder pace.
At the heart of it all is everything that makes a place feel like home. There is a well regarded primary school, a village shop for the daily essentials, the handsome church of St Paul, a village hall that hosts the events which knit a community together, and a friendly local pub where the evenings pass easily in good company. It is the kind of place where children grow up with room to roam, and where a morning walk somehow always ends in a conversation.
Landkey wears its history lightly but proudly. Once a Saxon farming settlement, it became a parish in its own right back in the 12th century, and its church has watched over village life for centuries. It is also famous for something rather lovely. The Mazzard, a sweet local cherry, had all but disappeared from North Devon until Landkey’s own parish council brought it back from the brink, planting a new orchard as part of the Millennium Green. Come spring, the blossom is a picture, and it is a story that says everything about the spirit of the place.
For all its rural calm, Landkey is beautifully placed. Barnstaple, the regional centre, sits just three miles away with its high street shops, its historic pannier market, theatre, leisure facilities and rail links along the Tarka Line through to Exeter and beyond. You enjoy the quiet of the countryside without ever feeling far from the everyday.
And then there is the coast. Some of the finest beaches in the country lie within easy reach: the golden sweep of Saunton and Putsborough, the surf at Croyde, the wide open horizons of Woolacombe, all part of a coastline so special it has been named a World Surfing Reserve. Closer to home, the Tarka Trail runs nearby for cycling and walking, Exmoor National Park rises to the east for wilder days out, and the South West Coast Path is always there when the sea calls.
Peaceful, connected and full of character, Landkey is quite simply a wonderful part of the world to call home. Long Close offers you the chance to make it yours.
