A LOCATION TO LOVE

The property is perfectly-placed within one of Northam's most exclusive residential locations, and is just a short walk from everything the village has to offer. Northam itself is a charming village situated on the North Devon coast, offering a delightful blend of history, natural beauty, and community spirit. From Bone Hill, it overlooks the estuary where the Taw and Torridge rivers converge, providing breath-taking views. The village offers a convenience store, newsagents and a coffee shop, along with a doctor’s and dentist surgery, primary schooling and a swimming pool/gym.

Appledore is a historic maritime village with a bustling quayside, popular cafes and restaurants and narrow streets lined with fishermen's cottages whilst Westward Ho! boasts a sandy, blue-flagged beach, popular with families and surfers alike. In addition, Instow, found just across the estuary, offers a riverside beach with sand dunes, access to the Tarka Trail and a number of award-winning restaurants, along with the popular yacht club and a pedestrian ferry to Appledore in the summer months.

Also close by, and connected by a regular bus service, is the historic port town of Bideford, which provides a wider range of facilities including a number of locally owned and operated shops and bistros, banks, a post office, secondary schooling and supermarket shopping.

The A39 provides a convenient route to Barnstaple, with High Street shopping and the Tarka rail line to Exeter in the South.
