Seller's Insight:

“My husband and I discovered the Teign Valley while searching for a farm in Devon, and we were instantly captivated by its quiet, rural charm, combined with its proximity to Exeter and Newton Abbot, as well as convenient access to the train stations and airport. The breathtaking views made it a truly lovely place to live — that was 36 years ago.

In 1990, we built our house, later adding an annexe.

Our home enjoys stunning sunrises and sunsets, with uninterrupted views across the valley. The sun moves around the property throughout the summer day, bathing various areas of the house in warm natural light, whilst being protected from prevailing south westerly winds being in the ley of Dartmoor.

This has been a happy family home and an ideal place to raise children, with primary schools in the local villages and the large garden, where many happy hours have been spent enjoying the beautiful views.

While we are sad to say goodbye to this beloved home we’ve built over the years, the time has come for us to move on. It now needs a family to fill it with laughter once more. As a family, we are excited to seek new pastures ahead.”

The annexe provides an option for multi-generational living or an additional rental income and has it’s own entrance, a fitted kitchen, living room with doors out to a private courtyard, a double bedroom and shower room.
