. Standing in grounds of nearly half an acre with mature and predominantly South facing landscaped gardens, 'Brookdene' enjoys an enviable position, having a lovely Westerly rural outlook from its elevated position. The location is also approximately 150 yards from a footpath following the River Otter, where a level scenic walk can be enjoyed to the pretty village of Tipton St. John and onto Ottery St. Mary.

. Harpford, which is situated about 3 miles North-West of Sidmouth, has easy access to the A3052 connecting to Exeter (10 ½ miles) and the commuter network. There is a main bus route for public and school buses on the A3052 to Exeter, Sidmouth and the Jurassic Coast. The immediate area is mainly of farmland bounded by a ridge of heathland to the West and wooded hills to the East. Much of the region is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and is also some 3 miles from the Devon Heritage Coast.

. Harpford is a good base for walking with a network of footpaths following the river or up over the surrounding hills and commons where there is also an important Rspb nature reserve to the West. Amenities in nearby Newton Poppleford include a post office, general store, inns, restaurant, butcher, hairdresser and tea rooms. There is also a well regarded primary school, clubs and societies and the village church, which has its origins in the 14th century. For more extensive amenities, the Regency town of Sidmouth is also within easy reach.
