This is a semi-detached property in a great village location, but only 15mins from Exeter Airport. The village has 2 pubs and an excellent General Stores, selling nearly all the things you might need. There is a train station here, about 5 mins walk, with a service to London Waterloo & the other way to Exeter in 13mins and a local bus service to Ottery St.Mary & the coast at Sidmouth.
The house itself, is in a country location with local walks around the lanes & orchards, tennis courts and a Playing field for the children with skate boarding area, while Exmouth has a top-notch skate board area in the park, to which people visit from all over the country. Teignmouth too is great.

My home has an enclosed garden with a summer house, & table & chairs outside.
Inside, the house has 2 double bedrooms and a loft room, which has 2 single beds & a small childs’ bed. There is another small single room which I use as an office on the same floor as the double bedrooms.
Downstairs a kitchen /dining room and a separate sitting room. There is also a Conservatory. The Utility room has a large washing machine. There’s a Tumble drier in the conservatory, and rotary drier outside the kitchen..
Private parking is at the rear of the property, away from the main road.
