Property description
Standing on the edge of beautiful Devon countryside on the eastern edge of West Hill, known as the 'Woodland Village', this single dwelling development is set in a superb private plot of approximately one acre. To the east is light historic woodland and farmland while to the west is situated the retained 1 acre gardens surrounding Knapp Cottage. The north and south boundaries are bounded by two neighbouring private gardens.
