Location

Lumley Close is a small select development of relatively modern individual detached houses with Georgian external styling, situated within the sought after Exe Estuary village of Kenton. The village is the location of the historic Powderham Castle with its parkland style grounds, popular farm shop selling local produce, café and garden centre. The village has good amenities to include a Church, a school, a Post Office/stores, a public house, two restaurants, a community hall and the Kenton Park Estate.  The Exe Estuary cycle ways are easily accessible stretching around the Exe linking the coastal towns of Dawlish and Exmouth with the city. There are frequent bus services between Kenton and Exeter city centre, which is just over 7 miles away.  The nearby village of Starcross also has a rail link to Exeter St Davids where a mainline link to London Paddington is accessible in around two and a half hours. 
The relatively close by Mamhead and Haldon Hills offer good hiking and cycling trails and the village offers fast access to the A38, the A380 and the M5 for commuting across the county and beyond.
