Location

This apartment enjoys a tranquil setting within Lower Netherton, a small and quiet hamlet that sits within the parish of Haccombe, much of which is classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Coastal Preservation Area.

Positioned between Newton Abbot and the coastal village of Shaldon, the location offers easy access to the nearby village of Combeinteignhead, home to a traditional parish church and two much-loved pubs – the Wild Goose Inn and the Coombe Cellars, the latter located right on the Teign Estuary.

For wider amenities, both Shaldon and Teignmouth offer a selection of shops, restaurants, beaches, and water-based activities. Newton Abbot provides a broader range of facilities including a mainline railway station with connections to Exeter, London Paddington and beyond, as well as a racecourse and regular local markets.

To the west lies the dramatic landscape of Dartmoor National Park, perfect for hiking, cycling, horse riding, and fishing, while to the south, the South Devon coast offers an array of sandy beaches and estuary walks.

Lower Netherton also boasts its own cricket club and access to scenic countryside footpaths, including routes leading directly down to the river and toward the Coombe Cellars – making it an ideal spot for nature lovers or those seeking a slower pace of life.
