LOCATION Under 10 Miles from the heart of Exeter this rural retreat is set in a quiet hamlet between the city and the town of Moretonhampstead.
The nearest village is Dunsford, which has a church, post office and store, pub, community hall and primary school. Moretonhampstead then offers a more extensive range of local amenities including primary school, doctors, swimming pool, shops, butchers and Deli.
Dartmoor itself is well known for its spectacular scenery, with its granite tors, heather clad moorland and wooded valleys bisected by rushing streams and rivers and there are many opportunities locally for walking, riding and fishing.
For further afield the M5 motorway can be picked up at Exeter as well as the International Airport with daily flights to London.
