Situation & Amenities - The property enjoys an elevated position, commanding fine views of both coast and country, and backs onto farmland. Woolacombe Beach and the village are within a healthy walking distance. Woolacombe sits on the North Devon coast and is popular with visitors - primarily because of its award-winning Blue Flag golden sandy beach. In addition, the village is surrounded by National Trust land and there are miles of walks along footpaths, boasting magnificent coastal scenery. Village amenities include a variety of shops, bars and restaurants, various leisure facilities, primary school with an excellent OFSTED rating, health centre and church. The nearest larger town is Ilfracombe, being about 5 miles away, and Barnstaple – North Devon’s regional centre is about 14 miles and has a rail link and direct access to the A361 North Devon Link Road, which joins the M5 at Jct.27 in a further 45 minutes or so. Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. Further along the coast are the equally desirable resorts of Croyde, Putsborough and Saunton (which also offers a Championship Golf Course). Exmoor National Park is also easily accessible.
Description - Bexleigh presents painted rendered elevations, partly relieved in stone with double-glazed doors and windows, all beneath a tiled roof. Within recent years the property has been tastefully modernised and there is ample scope to extend at either side, behind or even remodel, taking in the roof space – subject to any necessary planning permission being obtained, although there are existing precedents either side of the property. The bungalow is complemented by large well-tended gardens, which have been landscaped with ease of maintenance in mind and include a very generous car parking area to the front, with ample space for a number of vehicles, as well as motorhome, boat, etc. The property is considered suitable as principal residence, 2nd home or holiday let, and an internal inspection is recommended to fully appreciate the well-presented accommodation.
