It also offers a mainline railway station (direct service to London Paddington commuter train 2.5hrs) and convenient road links via the A380 dual carriageway linking to the M5 at Exeter. The cathedral city of Exeter is 15 miles away, it has excellent communication links to London, Cornwall and the Midlands, including two main line train stations and an international airport.

There is a good sized rear porch off the lounge, providing access to the garden and brick paved driveway and useful for storing boots and logs, while the spacious, farmhouse style kitchen and dining room is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary shower room and a practical utility room with side door, providing an additional entry point from the private residents’ driveway.

Upstairs there are three generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own private balcony, offering tranquil views over the fields of Teigngrace and distant views towards Haytor and a unique space to unwind. The property further benefits from a bright main bathroom with Velux style window on this level, ensuring practicality for modern lifestyles.
