Situation

The property is in the perfect location to enjoy the best of both country living and beaches of South Devon, yet within easy access to the busy city life of Exeter. Dawlish has good access to the M5 motorway, Exeter Airport and a mainline railway station direct to London Paddington.

The fast-growing Cathedral city of Exeter has been listed as one of the UK's 20 best cities by the Sunday Times and features a wonderful mix of history, modern shopping boulevards, major high street chains, quirky side streets and restaurants to suite the most discerning tastes.

If you prefer to stroll along the beautiful coastline, Lyme Bay, Dawlish, Teignmouth and Torquay are all within easy reach, offering stunning beaches for swimming, paddling or merely exploring rockpools. For the more adventurous there is access to a wide variety of water sports including rowing, sailing and surfing.

The nearby Haldon Forest and little Haldon provide numerous places to walk, cycle or ride a horse.

If golf is your passion, or if you fancy learning, Teignmouth Golf course is 10 minutes' drive away and was designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie (some 9 years prior to completing his most famous work, at the Augusta National, home of the US Masters)

Delightful dining experiences are plentiful. Enjoy a meal or a quiet drink at the Crab Shack (on the beach in Teignmouth), The Elizabethan Inn (near Ideford), The Ness (Shaldon), The Ley Arms (Kennford) or The Nobody Inn (Doddiscombsleigh) -to name but a few, the list is endless!
