Field cottage occupies an outstanding rural position conveniently situated, with very few immediate neighbours. The parish is made up of the three small hamlets of Kentisbury, Kentisbury Ford and Patchole, which together afford a thriving local community providing a primary school, village hall and parish church.

Despite its peaceful and secluded rural position the home still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield with the larger towns of Barnstaple and South Molton providing an extensive range of every day shopping, banking, recreational and educational facilities. From both of these towns the A361 North Devon link road provides easy access to Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27). Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London, Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.

The Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its popular resorts of Lynton, Lynmouth, Combe Martin and Ilfracombe. Further to the west are the renowned bathing and surfing beaches of Woolacombe, Putsborough, Croyde and Saunton.
