Situated on the outskirts of the town, the property is just a short walk to enjoy Topsham's excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and amenities.
The town is particularly well known for its picturesque waterside setting along the Exe Estuary, with beautiful walks, sailing facilities and access to the Exe Estuary Trail providing excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation. Topsham also benefits from a mainline railway station with connections to Exeter and beyond, while the Cathedral City of Exeter lies only a few miles away, offering a wider range of shopping, dining and cultural facilities together with access to the M5 and regional transport links.
