The village is also on the bus route to Kingsbridge and Plymouth.

More extensive shopping and leisure facilities can be found in the market town of Kingsbridge which lies approximately 5 miles to the south.

Description - Once the village bakery, The Old Bakery is now a most beautiful and characterful double-fronted cottage that affords well-presented and delightful accommodation which has been sympathetically renovated over the years, whilst at the same time retaining much of its original charm and period features.

Accommodation - The property is spacious with flexible accommodation that includes a dining room with flag stone floors, feature period fireplace with cast iron and tiled insert with hardwood surround and slate hearth and feature alcoves. The really pretty sitting room's large arched window to the front (previously the original bakery window) allows the room to fill with natural light, while a character-style chimney with stone surround, slate hearth and feature stone lintel above houses a Morso wood-burning stove. On either side of the chimney breast are feature alcoves with attractive timber detailing. Breakfast room/playroom overlooking the rear garden, with door leading out to the garden and stairs to the first floor. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and is fitted with a great range of painted Shaker style, wooden wall and base units with Caesarstone quartz sink surround and oak worktops, Belfast sink, oil-fired Sandyford range cooker (for the central heating and hot water).
