The popular rural village of George Nympton is situated just over two miles from the bustling market town of South Molton, set in rolling, unspoilt North Devon countryside, with its local public house, village hall and parish church.  South Molton provides an excellent range of everyday services and amenities including shops, primary and secondary schools, restaurants, together with a supermarket, health centre, recreational facilities and a cottage hospital.  From South Molton the A361 North Devon link road provides quick and easy access  to the regional centre of Barnstaple as well as Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27).  George Nympton is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside with nearby Exmoor offering beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths.  The north coast is easily accessible with lovely sandy beaches at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.  Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.

The property has two driveways either side of the cottage providing parking for two cars and access to the single garage.

The mature, well maintained and fully enclosed cottage style garden enjoy excellent privacy, with views over the Devon countryside. They comprise of pretty stone, brick paved and gravelled pathways and sitting out areas, with well established flower beds.
