Aysh is a small hamlet on a quiet lane leading to Throwleigh Common. For those who love Dartmoor, Throwleigh is a very sought after village, easy to get to yet exceptionally quiet and close to the open moor. The main village has an ancient granite church where post office services are provided weekly. The little country inn, the Northmore Arms and the village hall forming the hub of the community are located within walking distance of the cottage. Most everyday needs can be catered for in Chagford where there is a comprehensive range of shops and other facilities including bank, inns, a primary school, medical, dental and veterinary practices, churches and a good range of sporting activities. All major requirements are catered for in the cathedral city of Exeter, approximately 20 miles away or Okehampton just 8 miles distant. Despite the deeply rural nature of the property, access to and from other parts of the country is remarkably good with access at Whiddon Down to the A30 dual carriageway, and therefore the motorway and rail networks, about three miles away.
