The front garden enjoys far-reaching views across the beautiful Devon countryside, creating an attractive setting, while the rear garden offers a greater degree of privacy and seclusion, ideal for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.
The land extends to the south-east of the property, sloping down towards the Crooked Oak river which forms the natural boundary at the bottom of the valley.
