Description
It is thought, Cookbury Court, was probably the "Home Farm" for the nearby Dunsland Manor which in years gone by was a large estate of some note. Unfortunately, the fine manor house was destroyed by fire some 50 years ago, but the beautiful grounds are now in the safe hands of the National Trust providing superb walks. The unspoilt hamlet of Cookbury comprises a handful of quality residential properties centred around its ancient church. The bustling market town of Holsworthy caters particularly well for the locality with a good range of national and local shops together with amenities including indoor heated swimming pool, sports hall, golf course, schools, library and park etc. Bude on the North Cornish Coast with its sandy surfing beaching and spectacular cliff side walks is some 16 miles whilst those wishing to travel further afield the cathedral city of Exeter with its intercity rail and motorway links is some 40 miles distant. Of particular note is Shebbear College which is a highly regarded all-through private co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 4 – 18, set within 85 acres.
