The property enjoys a stunning and secluded location enjoying complete privacy within its own peaceful wooded valley, just above the River Teign. Whilst enjoying a rural location it is only 5 miles from the A38 dual carriageway which links with the M5 motorway. The nearby small village of Hennock has a pub, primary school, 12th Century church and village hall. The larger village of Knighton (3.5 miles) has further facilities whilst the popular town of Bovey Tracey with its good range of day-to-day facilities is only 3 miles. Newton Abbot (9 miles) and the cathedral and university city of Exeter (16 miles) provide a range of facilities befitting centres of their importance. The property is close to the high moorland of Dartmoor and not far from the Devon coastline. Being within the Dartmoor National Park, there are many thousands of beautiful, unspoilt moorland acres for country and rural pursuits. Introduction The property is ideal for a home and income opportunity with the added scope for multi-generational living due to the various units of accommodation (subject to any necessary consents).
