Location
Higher Metcombe lies just outside the village of West Hill and three miles South West of the charming Devon town of Ottery St Mary, surrounded by beautiful rolling Devon countryside. West Hill has a village store, a post office and an outstanding-rated primary school, while most of the necessary everyday amenities can be found in Ottery St Mary, including a variety of shops, restaurants and cafés, a supermarket and a good selection of schools. Tipton St John, also close by, is a small village within the Otter Valley, offering a beautiful rural location with excellent local amenities, which include a highly regarded primary school, award-winning restaurant/public house, church and village hall. The large recreational park, tennis courts and cricket pavilion provide a perfect village set up. There are lovely river walks and the surrounding countryside offers an idyllic setting.
