Buckfast Road, Buckfastleigh

Stylish riverside home with landscaped gardens, double garage and excellent access to Dartmoor and Totnes. EPC Band: D.

Situation - Beckstones is tucked away in the highly sought-after village of Buckfast, a charming and historic settlement just outside the Dartmoor boundary. The village is best known for Buckfast Abbey, a working Benedictine monastery surrounded by beautiful grounds, tearooms and a visitor centre. Buckfast is also home to the popular Strawberry Fields Farm Shop, known for its fresh local produce, butchery, gift shop and seasonal events.

Despite its rural feel, Buckfast enjoys excellent connectivity via the nearby A38 Expressway, providing quick access to both Exeter and Plymouth. The neighbouring town of Buckfastleigh offers local shops, a primary school, a medical centre, tennis courts and an open-air swimming pool. Just six miles away, Totnes offers a vibrant mix of independent shops, cafes, excellent schooling, and a mainline railway station with regular services to London Paddington. The area provides the best of both worlds—proximity to the wild beauty of Dartmoor and the stunning South Devon coastline, all within easy reach.
