A stunning stone farmhouse and adjoining annexe set in 0.66 of an acre of secluded grounds, in a timeless location close to Barnstaple & the coast. EPC Band D.

Situation And Amenities - Situated on the edge of the village of Landkey with no near neighbours and enjoying countryside views. Amenities in the village include; Regular bus service, village pub (The Castle Inn), which serves food, a well regarded primary school and parish church, pretty Village Millennium Greenspace with stream and provides a safe space for children to play as well as dog walking.
The nearby village of Swimbridge offers further amenities including another popular pub (The Jack Russell), which also serves food, and further primary school. Located between Landkey and Swimbridge is Venn Valley Vineyard which is one of only a few vineyards in North Devon and has an onsite café and hosts evening food events. The property is just 6 miles from West Buckland village and is therefore within the West Buckland school catchment area. Barnstaple, North Devon's regional centre, is about 3 miles and houses the area's main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues, as well as the North Devon District hospital. Fast road access to the area is provided by the A361, North Devon Link Road, which connects directly with the M5 at Junction 27, where there is also a main line railway station on the London Paddington line at Tiverton Parkway. There is also easy access to Exmoor National Park to the north east, offering excellent walking and riding. The property is also well located for exploring the whole of the North Devon area, including the dramatic coastline which at its nearest lies about 8 miles beyond Barnstaple and includes some of the best beaches in the South West at Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton (also with championship golf course) and Woolacombe to name but a few.
