The cottage is situated on the rural fringes of the village of Langtree, in this wonderfully unspoilt part of Devon, approximately equidistant between Dartmoor and Exmoor and only 10 miles from the coast.

The historic town of Great Torrington is only 4 miles away, which offers a complete range of amenities including shops (including an M&S Food), medical facilities and schools. There are a good selection of sporting and leisure facilities within the area and the nearby Tarka Trail offers excellent walking and cycling. The area is one of natural outstanding beauty with acres of commons land. The ancient Port and Market town of Bideford is approximately 6 miles in distance from Torrington. Barnstaple the region?s main town, is situated approximately 11 miles distance which in turn gives access to the M5 motorway at Junction 27 (Tiverton).

Electric underfloor heating with energy efficient predictive thermostats have been installed in the kitchen, dining room, shower and bathrooms. Throughout the remainder of the property, night storage and programmable electric panel heaters were replaced in 2011.
