Description:
An elegant, extended detached 5 bedroom Edwardian residence with large garden & lovely views on fringe of favoured Exmoor village
SITUATION AND AMENITIES
Orchardside is set within the boundary of Exmoor National Park on the edge of the sought after village of Parracombe which offers a highly regarded local primary school, The Fox and Goose Inn with a reputation for good food, as well as Post Office and store. The pretty village church is just a field removed from the property. Literally on the doorstep, there is access to many miles of footpaths across Exmoor and a little further a field is the rugged North Devon coastline, as well as the safe, sandy surfing beaches at Croyde and Woolacombe. A few miles away are the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, linked by the famous Victorian Cliff Railway and offering more extensive shopping facilities and amenities. Barnstaple is about 13 miles, and as the regional centre, provides the areas main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues. North Devon District Hospital is just on the periphery of the town. The North Devon Link Road (A361) is also convenient and offers a fast route to the M5 at Junction 27 (Tiverton) and the Motorway Network beyond. A National Mainline Railway line links Barnstaple with Exeter St Davids with further connecting services to London and beyond and to Exeter Central for the excellent shopping facilities.
