Valley Paradise

I live in a section of a converted Devon Longhouse on a large estate comprising of 1000+ acres. You approach the property up a long public lane about 1 mile from the village of Ide. The water is our own spring water. At night, its dark enough to see the stars and peaceful. The lane has been resurfaced so is smooth.... The property is 1 mile from the local village of Ide and 3 1/2 miles from the main City of Exeter. There is no public transport to the cottage, so I recommend you have access to a car when you stay here. The village of Ide has a bus service but not frequently, and it is a mile to the village itself by foot. Ide has a good shop and post office which is open every day(apart from the PO). If you have a car it is easy to come and go. There are buses from the village of Ide into Exeter six times a day. It is a 20 minute walk from the cottage to the village. There is a lovely garden which has a view across to Exeter itself. I have a wonderful cat who lives here, Zsuzsa, spends most of her days and nights outside. She comes in for a sleep some days or nights but likes to go out when it is not cold and hunt. The sea is 20 minutes from the property at Teignmouth, 35 to Exmouth and 40 to Sidmouth, by car. There is also the river Exe which provides some walks in the city of Exeter. The main M5 and A30 are a 10 minute drive and so is Sainsburys.
