Description
LOCATION
Sitting in a great position looking towards the beach at Westward Ho! (1 mile) and near historic Appledore (1 mile), Northam sees its share of visitors and seasonal residents, but has a mostly settled resident community. Being also only 1 mile from the larger town of Bideford, the residents of and visitors to this part of North Devon tend to move freely between these locations (aided by a regular bus route), which is undoubtedly of benefit to any businesses based here. Northam itself is an attractive village of traditional cottages and newer developments with a small number of shops and services, though firm plans for an additional 1,000 houses plus school and amenities are detailed in the Local Plan. North Devon's commercial centre of Barnstaple is also nearby (10 miles).
