The cottage is one of the oldest in the village as it forms part of East Street being close to the village centre but far enough from the main traffic for it not to be a nuisance. Within a few minutes walk away is a public house, church, restaurants and coffee houses, medical centre, library and a good number of local shops and stores including a family run Cawthorne's Store.

Braunton is considered one of the largest in the country and has 3 good primary schools, secondary school and a Tesco Superstore. There is easy access to the sandy beaches at Croyde and Saunton which are just under 5 miles away. Braunton Burrows is also conveniently situated. This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with many square miles for walking and dog walking. Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon, is just over 5 miles to the south east and here a wider range of amenities can be found including the new North Devon Leisure Centre, Tarka Tennis, Scotts Cinema and Queens Theatre to name a few. There is access on to the North Devon Link Road which provides a convenient route to the M5 motorway at junction 27, also to Tiverton Parkway, the rail line which connects to London.
