Amenities include a church, hairdresser, dentist, garage, shop, a village hall and primary school. More extensive facilities and the highly regarded The King's School can be found in nearby Ottery St. Mary. Equally the well-regarded Colyton Grammar school is within an easy commute. The well-known Woodbury Park Golf and Country Club is only a short distance away by car, as are lovely walks on Woodbury Common, the largest intact pebbled heathland in Southern England. In addition, the popular coastal resorts of Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth and Sidmouth are a short distance away.

To the North is the A30, which allows access to Exeter in the West and Honiton in the East. Exeter provides excellent facilities, including an international airport and rail links on the London Paddington and Waterloo lines. Whilst Honiton, also on the London Waterloo line, has a twice weekly market, a range of shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities.

The rear garden includes a spacious paved patio, a feature pond, and a pergola draped in mature wisteria, an ideal setting for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, with a strong sense of privacy and tranquillity.
