Situation - The Cottage is set with no immediate neighbours in the highly attractive Taw Valley, in the midst of some of Devon's most attractive countryside and offers a wide range of recreational pursuits including fishing, riding, shooting, delightful walks and cycling.
The thriving small town of Chulmleigh is about two miles and offers a good range of local shops and amenities including medical centre, dentist, library and primary and secondary schooling. The market town of South Molton approximately ten miles distant offers a more comprehensive range of facilities, whilst the North Devon regional centre of Barnstaple lies about 15 miles away to the north and the Cathedral City of Exeter 24 miles to the south east.
There are nearby railway stations on the Barnstaple to Exeter (Tarka) line at Eggesford and Kings Nympton and the M5 motorway is within easy travelling distance at Junction 27, where there is also a mainline station at Tiverton Parkway.
