Introduction

The Sidings was built on the site of the old Swimbridge Railway Station. It occupies a totally secluded, south facing rural location, set in grounds of about of an acre, enjoys pleasant views over open and wooded countryside and has no close neighbours. The property was constructed in 2005 to a high specification and presents colourwashed rendered elevations beneath a slate roof with atrium style feature windows which are double glazed throughout. The oil fired central heating system provides under floor heating on the ground and first floors, and radiators to the second floor, all with independent controls. The accommodation is bright, spacious and very adaptable, and would make one fabulous family home, or could easily accommodate two parts of the same family as it has done for the current owners in the recent past. Alternatively, there may be a home and income angle, as the different levels of accommodation can be self contained with independent access points. The gardens have been most attractively landscaped with ease of maintenance in mind. All in all, this is a property that has to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.

The Sidings is within close proximity of the North Devon Link Road, which cannot be seen, but there is an acoustic fence running along the entire frontage bordering the link road. The property has been realistically priced, taking this into account.

The property is situated on the outskirts of the pretty village of Swimbridge which benefits from a popular public house, primary school, village hall and parish church. A bus service runs from the village to the regional centre of Barnstaple which has extensive facilities, including a very popular theatre, twice weekly Pannier Market, famous Butchers Row and many well-known High Street shops as well as the usual services of hospital, schools, council offices, train station etc. North Devon is well known for its extensive walking including Exmoor and the coast. There are many golf courses in the area, the most famous of which is at Saunton Sands. The North Devon link road (A361) which provides easy access to the M5 and the mainline railway station at Junction 27 Tiverton Parkway.
