Higher Zeal is a lovely and traditional thatched cottage conveniently located for discovering all that North Devon has to offer. It has a beautiful elevated rear garden mainly laid to lawn plus seating and decking areas so you can look out above the thatch onto the surrounding countryside. The property is located right by a main road which gives convenient access to the surrounding villages including Atherington and Torrington, the latter which has shops and amenities for convenience.
The location is 8 miles from the regional capital town of Barnstaple with its many cafés, restaurants, Queens Theatre, multi-screen cinema, leisure centre with swimming pool, a purpose-built tennis centre with indoor and outdoor courts and an indoor trampoline centre. North Devon is famed for its fantastic natural attractions such as Exmoor National Park with its magical night skies in Europe’s first ’Dark Sky Reserve’, the many rugged coastal towns and quaint villages such as Lynton & Lynmouth, Ilfracombe and the world-famous Clovelly Village, all with awe-inspiring scenery.
If stunning beaches are your thing then the region will leave you spoilt for choice with Saunton, Woolacombe, Croyde and Westward Ho! Beaches - all within easy reach by car. The fantastic South West Coastal Path runs through the region’s rugged coastline and is perfect for walkers and view seekers offering 90 miles of stunning walks; and the popular Tarka Trail provides the unique opportunity to follow a disused railway line on foot or by bicycle allowing you to enjoy some of Devon’s finest countryside and river scenery which will take you through places like Fremington & Yelland Quays.
For a day with a difference why not take a trip across to Lundy Island? Boats regularly depart from either Bideford or Ilfracombe. Fancy a spot of golf? Then Libbaton Course is just over 3 miles away and if gardens are more your thing, then RHS Garden Rosemoor is a must see and located just over 6 miles to the west. And don’t forget the region’s many family attractions which are also all within easy reach by car.
