General overview

Modern family house in quiet cul de sac. In a village on the edge of the town of Newton Abbot in popular holiday destination of South Devon, English Riviera, birth place of Agatha Christie. We have a lovely beaches on our door step (10 min drive) as well as stunning Dartmoor National Park for walks, horse riding, cycling. Sherlock Holmes novel Hound of Baskerville book is set in Dartmoor. Many picturesque villages with chocolate box houses with traditional thatched roof are within short 10-20min car drive away. Lovely English seaside towns are up and down the coast. However our favourite place we go to every weekend for a stroll is Torquay Seafront and pier, with many restaurants, beach and Ferris wheel in the summer. Exeter city is only 20 min drive away, it is stunning old university city with cathedral, excellent shops and restaurants. Great night life. We also have two amazing Michelin star restaurants 15 & 20 miles away. Lympstone Manor run by Michael Caines and the Elephant in Torquay. Paignton Zoo is one of the largest in the UK and is only 20 min in the car. Crealy Adventure Theme Park is about 20 miles away and it is Southwest England's largest family Theme Park attraction and is home to over 60 rides, attractions, live shows and a zoo.

Fourth has a single guest bed with a trundle so it makes two single beds(but it's a squeeze) you can also use this room as a dressing room and to store your suitcases. House can sleep 7 people, but 6 would be more comfortable. Family bathroom is on the same floor as the bedrooms and has full bath tub and separate shower.

Neighbourhood

Village location walking distance to several traditional cosy English country pubs with a fireplace.

We also have a lovely outdoor pool in the village which we love to frequent whole season. Access to several walking trails. Village is seamlessly attached to Newton Abbot town with more shops, cinema, library, Leisure centre etc and many independent restaurants on the high street.

Nearest airport

We are close to two international airports Exeter and Bristol 25 min to Exeter Airport 1.5hr to Bristol Airport 3.5hrs to London Heathrow 3 hrs train journey to Central London Paddington Station

Getting around

Bus stop at the bottom of the road with frequent service. You can buy a weekly bus pass for £19.50 that takes you all around local bay area. Shops and pubs in walking distance, however our house is on top of the hill so walk back home is bit of a cardio exercise. Car is recommended to make most of your time here.
