Situation

Littlecote is a quaint 3-4 bedroom cottage, located in the highly desirable East Devon village of East Budleigh—an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—this charming and historic village is best known as the birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh (b.1552). The village offers a welcoming community and a good range of local amenities, including a traditional pub, a beautiful church, a well-regarded primary school (Ofsted: Good), and an active community shop.

Just under two miles away lies the coastal town of Budleigh Salterton, with its wide range of services and access to an unspoilt pebbled beach. For sandy shores, Exmouth is only six miles away. The university and cathedral city of Exeter is around 10 miles to the west, offering the full facilities expected of a regional centre, along with railway stations on both the Waterloo and Paddington lines, plus an international airport.

East Budleigh sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the picturesque River Otter valley, where there are scenic walks to enjoy. To the west, East Budleigh Common, Bicton Common, and Woodbury Common provide miles of countryside ideal for walking, birdwatching, and horse riding.
