Seller Insight
This has been an amazing home to raise our family; offering an outdoor lifestyle with the large garden and access to the river. We have some very special memories. Our children have all learnt to sail here and for our wedding we sailed to Lympstone harbour from the house, while friends and family watched on from the garden. We have kayaked across the river to the Turf for a pint and paddle boarded to Topsham and Lympstone to see friends. As wildlife enthusiasts we have enjoyed the opportunity to photograph rare birds from the house.

Exton is a quiet train station with trains stopping only by request. We have enjoyed the convenience of having a local branch line to allow us easy access to the beach, the city centre and to bring us home after an evening in Topsham with friends.

During the winter it is wonderful to relax on the sofa, being warmed by the wood burner while watching the breathtaking expansive views, stunning sunsets and the huge flocks of migratory birds on the estuary. From the comfort of our home, we have often spotted flocks of avocets, seals, osprey, spoonbills and otters.

We have appreciated how lucky we have been to live at Horizons. Every time we come home, we cannot believe we live in such a beautiful place. However, with our children moving on, we no longer need all the space.
