Sainsbury's supermarket is conveniently located on Alphington Road. The cathedral city of Exeter, with its abundance of shopping, travel and business facilities, is approximately 2 miles distant.

HISTORICAL NOTE A former manor and village, now a suburb of the city of Exeter, White's Devonshire Directory of 1850 describes Alphington as 'a neat and pleasant village on the western side of the river Exe, 1 ? miles south of Exeter. It has in its parish 1,286 inhabitants, and about 700 acres of fertile land, traversed by the South Devon Railway and Exeter Ship Canal. It has cattle fairs on the first Wednesday after the 20th June, and on the Wednesday after Michaelmasday. It was one of the principal quarters of Sir Thomas Fairfax's army, when it was blockading Exeter in 1646'. He goes on to record that a man named Stone died here at the ripe old age of 120 years, in the reign of Elizabeth 1st. Mile End Cottage, situated on the main road through the village, was rented by Charles Dickens for his parents in 1839
  Nowadays Alphington is a bustling suburb of Exeter. However it still manages to retain its village charm and livestock auctions are still held here. In fact many of the buildings White would have recorded in 1850 are still present, including St.Michael's.
