This charming and peaceful village offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and accessibility, making it a highly desirable location for those seeking a premium lifestyle in the heart of the countryside.

The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with Dartmoor National Park to the east and Bodmin Moor to the west, offering a wealth of outdoor pursuits including walking, riding, cycling, and wildlife watching. Furthermore, the residence is within short walking distance of Roadford Lake where you can find a cafe, scenic walks, bridlepaths and much more.
