The property is centred upon a deceptively spacious detached split level bungalow erected in the early 1970’s subject to an agricultural occupancy condition. Whilst now requiring updating in some areas, the bungalow provides well-proportioned four bedroomed family accommodation set in delightful gardens and approached over a smart private entrance drive. The property also benefits from a small range of adaptable outbuildings and an excellent block of adjoining productive pasture land, which may be well suited to a variety of smallholder, equestrian, conservation or other amenity uses. In total, Parklands extends to about 25.82 Acres (10.449 Ha) and is offered for sale as a whole or in two further options, as described within these sale particulars.

The property is situated on the edge of the hamlet of Landcross, lying between Bideford and Great Torrington, accessed from the A386 over a quiet no-through road which also leads to the pretty parish church. Enjoying an elevated south facing position, the property enjoys lovely views over the Torridge Valley and surrounding Devon countryside.
Despite its peaceful semi-rural location Parklands is well situated for easy access to the surrounding districts and main routes of communication. Nearby villages include Littleham and Weare Giffard, providing thriving local communities with social clubs and popular public houses. The famous Tarka Trail is within easy striking distance, providing a walk or cycle alongside the River Torridge to Bideford, Instow, Torrington and beyond. The North Devon port and market town of Bideford is within 2 miles affording a good selection of both local and national shops, banking, recreational and educational services, including a choice of both primary and secondary schooling. From Bideford the A39 provides an easy link to the regional centre of Barnstaple from where the A361 North Devon link road provides access to Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27). Mainline intercity rail links are available at Exeter and Tiverton Parkway, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
Parklands is surrounded by picturesque Devon countryside providing a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, fishing on the river Torridge, and the Royal North Devon golf course at Westward Ho!. To the north east and south respectively, the Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks offer beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths, whilst the stunning North Devon coast is easily accessible.

The property enjoys a picturesque setting approached from the quiet no-through council road via a long sweeping private tarmacadam driveway, which continues right around the bungalow, with ample parking for numerous vehicles and a drive-through Car Port. A Potting Shed adjoins to the side of the bungalow, overlooking the well stocked gardens which wrap around the dwelling and boast extensive flower beds and borders with an abundance of mature shrubs and ornamental trees. A track leads off the main drive to provide access to a small range of outbuildings briefly comprising a timber and profile steel roofed Garden Store and an open fronted Store Shed. An aluminium framed Greenhouse and Fruit Cage are also situated in this area.
Situated adjacent to the entrance lane which leads to the property is a useful detached Garage/Workshop, approx. 10.2m x 6.1m, of stone, block and monopitch gi roofed construction, with two sets of double timber doors. This building is now in need of repair.
The Land
Conveniently situated adjoining the homestead and gardens is a superb parcel of productive pasture land divided into a number of easily managed enclosures. The land enjoys panoramic views over the surrounding countryside, running down to the A386 with a separate gated access direct from the no-through council road in the southernmost corner.
The land is mainly level and gently sloping with a principally southerly aspect, utilised in recent years for the grazing of livestock, although it may be well suited to a variety of smallholder, equestrian, conservation or other amenity uses. Parklands extends in total to about 25.82 Acres, as shown shaded in various colours on the attached identification plan.
