SITUATION AND AMENITIES Springfield is in the pretty Devonshire coastal village of Welcombe, prominently situated in a slightly elevated position. Springfield enjoys stunning uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside through the valley down towards Welcombe Beach. In this region the rugged North Devon coastline is extremely dramatic and classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The renowned Welcombe Mouth is a quiet and tranquil beach, much quieter than some of the sandy beaches further down the coast and is one of North Devon's best kept secrets. From the house, there are excellent walks including the South West Coast Path where stunning vistas can be enjoyed. The scattered village has a good range of amenities including a period Inn close by serving daytime and evening meals, general store/Post Office, pottery and a recently renovated and active village hall. The larger village of Hartland, approximately 5 miles away, has an excellent range of local amenities including cafe, shops, Post Office, pubs, medical centre and primary school. There are churches, a variety of clubs and societies within short driving distance of the property. Into Cornwall, approximately 13 miles away, is the coastal town of Bude with a range of larger shopping facilities, amenities and surfing beaches. Bideford is approximately 17 miles away and Barnstaple a further 10 miles with good road links to the M5 motorway.
