Introduction

2 Abbaton Cottages is a semi-detached period cottage built of stone and cob, rendered, under a thatched roof. The cottage is in a lovely south-facing rural position with countryside views towards Dartmoor. Much has been done to the property by the current owner with new timber double-glazed windows installed in 2007 and the thatch being replaced on the ridge and the south elevation. Outside, the property benefits from a very pretty south-facing garden with lovely views across the fields. There are several period outbuildings (all in good order), including a stone and tiled barn which is divided into the garage and studio / study / bedroom.

The property is situated approximately 6 miles south of Barnstaple well placed for access to the surrounding towns of Great Torrington, Bideford and Barnstaple, all offering an excellent range of both local and national high street shops, banks and leisure facilities. The village of Newton Tracey is within a short drive, approximately 1 mile, and offers a popular local pub and restaurant whilst the nearby village of Lovacott offers a primary school. 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. An excellent bus service operates between Barnstaple and surrounding towns with further connections beyond. A national mainline railway line links Barnstaple with Exeter St. David's, with further connecting services to London and beyond, and to Exeter Central for the excellent shopping facilities.
