THE AREA

The subject property occupies a prominent position within the main core of this unique Exmoor village, which attracts a high volume of visitors throughout the summer months and remains popular with walkers and sightseers during the shoulder seasons. The principal car and coach parks are located on the adjoining Watersmeet Road, with the property being one of the first premises visitors encounter as they walk down into the village.

The surrounding area comprises a mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and visitor attractions, all benefiting from the strong tourist trade associated with Exmoor National Park and the North Devon coastline.
