Don't miss the chance to transform this property into your dream home.Fremington is pleasant village close to beautiful Instow and the popular Tarka Trail. Once a thriving port when the railway ran through the village, there are reminders of the area’s heritage all around and close to the River Taw - within sight from the top of Sampson’s Plantation. Visit the easy-going museum at Fremington Quay for an insight into quite how busy the sleepy Fremington once was.

The village itself is home to several good pubs, churches, a community centre and shops – there’s even a chippy. To the west is Instow with its expansive and jaw-dropping views of the Taw / Torridge Estuary and views out to the ocean. In the old days, there used to be a ferry to Crow Point to avoid the 20-mile plus walk to Braunton. The estuary enjoys one of the highest low-high tide ratios in the world at Instow and the surrounding beaches. Seafood restaurants attract people from all over the county and it’s not surprising that upstream in the Taw is home to one of the last Salmon net fishermen in the land. The Fremington area of North Devon is a really interesting place full of walks and views, you’ll never run out of ideas for places to visit in all seasons.

The property is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Instow, Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.<br/><br/><b>Directions</b><br/>From Barnstaple Town Centre, proceed over the Long Bridge and up Sticklepath Hill following the A3125 towards Bickington / Fremington.
