Description
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a deceptively spacious detached individual residence enjoying sea views, within walking distance of the award-winning sandy beach.
Location - Situated within walking distance of the award winning sandy beach is this fantastic detached residence. Woolacombe village offers a superb community, with many amenities within walking distance of the property including shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as the Woolacombe Bay Hotel which has a cinema.
The stunning North Devon coastline was selected in April 2022 as a ‘World Surfing Reserve’ (WSR), the first in the UK and only cold-water WSR in the world, and Woolacombe beach itself has previously been voted the Best Beach in the UK (Trip Advisor). The property is ideally situated within a short stroll up the Esplanade to Barricane Beach, which has a charming seasonal shack overlooking the sea, serving delicious Sri Lankan curry several nights a week during summer. There is also open National Trust land within close proximity that offers an array of magnificent coastal walks. Further sandy beaches are also within easy access at Croyde, Putsborough (which adjoins Woolacombe Beach) and Saunton, with the latter also benefiting from a championship golf course.
The nearby village of Braunton offers an excellent range of amenities and leisure pursuits, whilst Exmoor National Park is a short drive. Ilfracombe town is a short distance from the property, which offers a range of amenities including shops, restaurants, a Tesco supermarket, cinema and a popular theatre. The regional centre of Barnstaple is located about 13 miles away and offers all the area’s main business, shopping and commercial venues.
Communications - The area can be accessed from Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway, and along the A361 North Devon Link Road which leads onto the A39 Atlantic Highway. The nearest train station is at Barnstaple, which connect to Exeter, where there are regular mainline rail services to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. Alternatively, Tiverton Parkway Mainline Railway Station is around a 75 minute drive, which connects to London and beyond.
