Stondtorre Knowle Road | Lustleigh | Newton Abbot | Devon | TQ13 9SP Stondtorre
Lustleigh is situated within the Dartmoor National Park and has a strong sense of community with its local convenience store providing a range of excellent produce, as well as a good centre for socialising with the friendly residents. The village also benefits from a pub and tea room, both providing excellent food. Schools and shops are located in nearby Bovey Tracey which is also home of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, always a popular venue for visitors.
The area was probably inhabited way before records began and now has a population of approximately 700 and includes land gifted to the village some years ago known as ‘The Orchard’ which has a children’s playground. Lustleigh is a vibrant and friendly village with lots going on. The annual May Day fair and August bank holiday shows are major events in the South Devon calendar.
The railway line was closed in 1964 and several miles of the track between Lustleigh and Bovey Tracey is used as a public footpath providing lovely walks and a cycle track through the woodland and along the riverside. It also gives access to approximately 200 acres of National Trust land.
This beautiful home is within easy reach, just a 10 minute drive, from the A38 and onto the M5, mainline train stations at Newton Abbot (approx. 9 miles) and Exeter (approx. 18 miles) and of course Exeter international airport.
