Location

Combe Martin is a picturesque coastal village set within a valley that gently slopes down to the sea, providing a unique combination of lowland charm and surrounding high elevations. The village itself is located at sea level along its famous bay, where the rolling waves meet sandy shores and dramatic rocky cliffs. This coastal elevation offers stunning panoramic views of the Bristol Channel and the rugged North Devon coastline. The property is just a 20 minute stroll from Newberry & Combe Martin beach where you'll find welcoming pubs, artisan shops, water sports activities and a strong sense of community. Larger towns like Ilfracombe and Barnstaple are within easy reach, providing further access to supermarkets, schools, healthcare facilities, and transport links. Ilfracombe is the nearest town and offers a variety of leisure pursuits such as Ilfracombe Golf Club less than a mile away, as well as a range of independent shops along with larger supermarkets both in and out of town including Lidl, Tesco and Co-Op with further shops, art galleries, restaurants and bars within the area. The picturesque seafront and harbour area is where the renowned artist Damien Hirst influence can be found along with his ‘Verity’ statue at the harbour entrance. In addition is the exciting new water hub and café making the harbour area a hive of activity. Combe Martin itself lies within the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), offering breathtaking scenery and easy access to Exmoor National Park - renowned for its undulating moors and pasture land with rivers running down through deep wooded combes and valleys to spectacular cliffs along the North Devon coast.

North Devon was designated as the UK's first World Surfing Reserve (WSR) in 2022, joining a prestigious list of surf reserves globally. This recognition highlights North Devon’s exceptional surfing beaches, the area's rich surf culture, and the importance of preserving its coastal environment.
