The workshop is situated
in the countryside outside
the village of Shebbear in
north Devon. The nearest towns
are Torrington, Holsworthy,
Bideford and Hatherleigh and
students tend to find their
own accommodation either nearby
or in one of those towns.
The course administrator Margaret
Hassett is here to assist
you in finding accommodation
and many students take up
places vacated by those leaving
as they join. Some students
share accommodation and we
have a list of houses owned
by former students who now
let them to our students.
As a guide price to rent a
room in a shared house would
cost between £220 and
£270. To rent a family
house would cost between £400
and £600, and to rent
an apartment or small house
would cost between £350
and £500 per month.
We strongly advise that you
have some form of transport,
more than a push bike. The
workshop is in the countryside
and even getting a bottle
of milk requires a ten minute
drive to the local village.
It is possible to get
cheaper accommodation than
this. One student managed
to buy a caravan and site
it on land here at the farm.
At the end of the year he
sold the caravan at only a
small loss, but you’d
have to negotiate your ground
rent and the provision of
electricity with Ted Lott
the farmer.
