SITUATION
Bucks Mills is a former fishing village which grew along the stream leading down the valley to the sea. Most of the cottages in Bucks Mills were originally estate cottages built around 1812 to 1835, but many are now private dwellings or holiday homes, making this unique property an ideal principle residence or a perfect holiday let investment. Literally a stone's throw from Mill Cottage is access to the coast and the South West Coast Path providing picturesque walks. The nucleus of the village is a cluster of about a dozen houses, centred around a small square at the cliff top. Beyond the square and properties, the cliff drops sharply and the stream cascades over the cliff to the beach. A steep pathway leads down from the square, past the Old Lime Kilns to a pebbly beach with charming rock pools. There are strips of sandy beach between the rocks at low tides. The coastline is also a haven for sporting pursuits including fishing, kayaking and coastal walks to name a few. From the beach, there are spectacular views across the North Devon coastline and beyond, including the famous, historic village of Clovelly and Lundy Island.
There are more extensive shopping facilities and amenities available at the port and market town of Bideford around 10 miles away. Clovelly village is located around 4 miles away and Hartland and Bradworthy are also both just over 8 miles. The regional centre at Barnstaple, about 18 miles, offers all the area's main business, shopping and commercial venues. There are also good transport opportunities via the A361, which connects to the motorway network via junction 27 of the M5 or via rail and the Tarka Line.
