SITUATION & DESCRIPTIONWest Buckland is situated close to Bantham hamlet and beach, which is locally and nationally renowned as a beautiful corner of the South Hams coastline. Much of the countryside around Bantham and West Buckland is owned by Evans Estates (1956) Ltd, a family company and vendor of the barns, which has sought to control unsympathetic development in the area.
There is a general stores at Bantham as well as a public house. This part of Devon's coast is also well known for its water sports activities and excellent walks. The market town of Kingsbridge is some 4 miles away and offers a wide selection of shopping and recreational facilities including a Leisure Centre with swimming pool. There are also numerous restaurants and public houses.
To the south west is the city of Plymouth where there is an international airport and a ferryport providing services to Roscoff in France and Santander in Spain. Nearby there are golf courses at Thurlestone and Bigbury. In the opposite direction is Exeter which also offers a similar range of amenities and an international airport. Totnes provides a train link to London Paddington with travelling time of around three hours.
When converted these stone barns will form an attractive development with well proportioned accommodation in a delightful location famous as a holiday destination.
