The Northam Burrows Country Park (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and Royal North Devon Golf Club (the oldest golf course in England) are only a short distance away, as is the Tarka Trail, offering scenic walks along the North Devon coastline and forming parts of the famous South West Coast path.

Description - Set within a large plot and stunning views over the Torridge Estuary, Little Knowle offers a large footprint and potential for improvement and modernisation throughout.

There is the potential of a building plot (stp) in the gardens, an option considered but not explored by the current owners. This is the first time Little Knowle has been made available for sale in over 40 years and is advertised with no onward chain.

The back garden enjoys breath-taking views across the estuary, the garden currently divided into the two main areas, by a large wooden garden shed, low fence and raised bed. The upper part of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with established beds and borders and a large dining terrace directly behind the house. At the foot of the garden, there is a former, very productive, kitchen garden, that could easily be re-established if desired.
