The property is situated in the unspoilt Dartmoor village of Gidleigh with easy access to the moor. The popular town of Chagford is less than 3 miles away with the former market town of Okehampton approximately 9 miles to the North.

Lying within the boundaries of the Dartmoor National Park Chagford is a popular centre for both walking and riding. The town centre contains a variety of shops and public houses. Primary education is well catered for and the recently built local school has a fine reputation. The Recreation Ground is the home of thriving football and cricket clubs and the local swimming pool provides additional leisure facilities.
