SITUATION The land is situated on the edge of the village of Petrockstowe, a peaceful rural community surrounded by typically rolling Devonshire countryside. The village itself has a strong community spirit and there is a well known local inn, together with an excellent village hall. Close by is the popular historic market town of Hatherleigh with an excellent range of shops and services, which include a primary school, doctors and veterinary surgeries. The nearby town of Okehampton has an excellent range of amenities with three supermarkets including a Waitrose, a range of high street shops, modern hospital and leisure centre in the attractive setting of Simmons Park. The town has schooling from infant to sixth form level. Okehampton gives direct access to the A30 dual carriageway, providing a link west into Cornwall and east to Exeter with its M5 motorway, main line rail and international air connections. From Petrockstowe, there is easy access to the scenic Tarka Trail and the Dartmoor National Park is easily accessible at Okehampton. The North Devon towns of Bideford, Barnstaple and Torrington are within easy driving distance, as are the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, with attractive beaches and delightful coastal scenery.
