The understated historic village enjoys a rural, unspoilt charm and is well catered for by a public house, post office and store as well as a Church and Parish Hall. The Estate is within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the sought after South Hams. The historic estuary town of Kingsbridge, 9 miles away, offers a wide range of everyday amenities, with two supermarkets, banks, Post Office, shops, restaurants, garages and inns. The sailing meccas of Salcombe (16 miles) and Dartmouth (6 miles) are two of the most prominent coastal resorts within the South Hams and are well known to both national and international sailors.
