Description
This very unspoilt locality is a quiet backwater famed for its unspoilt landscape and spectacular coastline much of which is now under National Trust stewardship. The small village of Welcombe has a popular Inn The Old Smithy, Pottery and Community Shop with Post Office facilities. The A39 is only about 3 miles and provides good access to the towns of Bideford, Bude, and Barnstaple. It leads to the North Devon link road with its M5 connection near Tiverton. About half a mile up the road from the cottage you can access the coastal footpath with its amazing seascapes/cliffside walks.
Directions
From Bude town centre proceed out of the town towards Stratton and upon reaching the A39 turn left signposted Bideford and proceed for approximately 5 miles into the village of Kilkhampton continue through the village towards Bideford for some 4 miles until you reach Welcombe Cross and turn left. After 1.4 miles, at Tredown Cross, turn right signed Church/Elmscott. Follow this road passing through the village of Welcombe and keeping to the signs for Welcombe Mouth, proceed down the steep hill out of the village. At the bottom of the hill, at Watergap Cross, turn right signed Elmscott, and proceed for approximately 0.75 mile whereupon the entrance to Southole Barns will be found on the right hand side.
The Residence
Southole Barns offers a superb opportunity to acquire this complex of 5 barns. All of which are full residential aside from Clovelly & Week St Mary which has a 12 month holiday restriction. It is currently running as an established business with financial details available on request. The barns are believed to date back to the late 1800's and originally comprised of stables, a dairy, a potato store and grain store. It is thought they were previously part of the Hartland Abbey estate.
