Yowlestone House is set in a peaceful rural location, between the villages of Pennymoor and Puddington, and surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside. Despite its idyllic rural setting, the property is only 8.5 miles from Tiverton and 14.5 miles from Exeter. There are many local opportunities for walking, cycling and riding, and the National Parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor are found to the north and south respectively.
Tiverton, approximately 8.5 miles away, has a comprehensive range of shopping facilities including a number of supermarkets, banks, a hospital, leisure centre and 18-hole golf course. There are schools for all ages including the well-regarded Blundell’s School and Preparatory School, for which the property falls within the reduced-fee catchment area. Tiverton Parkway Station (an approximate 25 minute drive away) provides regular services to London Paddington in a little over two hours.
Exeter, just 14.5 miles away, is the most thriving city in the South West and offers a wide choice of cultural activities with the theatre, the museum, arts centre and a wealth of good restaurants and shopping including John Lewis. Many good primary and secondary schools can be found in Exeter including Exeter School, Exeter College (Ofsted 'Outstanding') and The Maynard, whilst Exeter University is recognised as one of the best universities in the country.
Communication links are excellent: the M5 motorway provides links to the A38 to Plymouth, or the A30 to Cornwall to the South and Bristol and London to the north and east. Exeter International Airport provides a good range of flights to domestic and European destinations.
