" An individual detached chalet residence offering tastefully modernised, well presented and versatile accommodation with superb views.

SITUATION AND AMENITIES Hawksridge enjoys an elevated position, set back and above the lane, backing onto open fields, and enjoys 180 degree panoramic views across the village, church steeple to open countryside in one direction, and as far as the sea in the other. At the same time, the property is within walking distance of the centre of the lovely small and unspoilt village of Berrynarbor, which boasts community Post Office / general store, an excellent 13th Century inn, as well as well-respected primary school. The popular North Devon coastal village of Combe Martin, about 2 miles, is set at the bottom of the hilly coastline and has a sheltered beach along with a variety of shops catering for day to day needs. A little further afield, about 3 miles away, is the town of Ilfracombe, with its quaint harbour and more extensive shopping facilities and amenities, including supermarkets, schooling for all ages, leisure centre and theatre. The surrounding countryside and coastline provide excellent recreational facilities, with lovely wide open beaches at Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton and Woolacombe, all about half an hour by car. The Exmoor National Park nearby provides endless bridleways and footpaths for those who wish to ride or walk, and appreciate the dramatic rugged countryside. Barnstaple town is about 10 miles, or 20/25 minutes by car, and as North Devon's regional centre, houses the area's main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues. A short distance away, access is available to the North Devon Link Road, leading through to Junction 27 of the M5, part of the National Motorway Network, whilst Barnstaple Railhead provides a link to the National Railway System.
