This large, terraced property is situated in the very heart of the sought-after Devon village of Kennford. The village has an active community that supports the village convenience store very well. There is a convenient local bus service and it is only a short distance to the seaside town of Torquay and the Cathedral city of Exeter with its world-renowned University, M5 motorway, Paddington direct train line and International airport. Also, nearby is Haldon Forest with many forest walks and activities and within a short drive is Dartmoor National Park and some spectacular beaches.
