The property is one of a select development of cottages forming Tytherleigh Court.

More amenities and a weekly food market can be found in the historic town of Axminster, which is just four miles away and has a mainline railway station on the Exeter to London Waterloo line. Picturesque Lyme Regis and the beautiful Jurassic Coast are a 20-minute drive away.

Exeter to the west, and Taunton to the north both provide a comprehensive array of retail and leisure facilities and access to the M5. Exeter International Airport offers a number of domestic and international flights.
