Within just a few steps you have the Plough arts centre / theatre and Dartington Crystal. The Royal Horticultural society gardens "Rosemoor" is just a short drive away. Within a mile you can find yourself on the Tarka trail, a footpath/cycle way mainly built on the bed of a disused railway where all the gradients are gentle. It winds its way through some stunning woodland along the course of the River Torridge past Beam Weir, where Henry Williamson’s Tarka the Otter was born, from which the trail gains its name. It continues past Bideford and along the coast to Barnstaple where it splits and one leg turns inland again following the portion of the railway which is still in use the other continues on the bed of the disused railway and onto Ilfracombe. Both Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks are within an hour’s drive away. The closest coastline is only a 10 mile drive and is very popular with surfers and body borders alike. Great Torrington is surrounded by some 365 acres of commons stretching down the picturesque river Torridge valley providing miles of pretty walks.
Ticking boxes aside, it is in my experience that the feel of the home is what will make you buy it. Only by visiting Palmer Cottage you will know if it is "the one". I strongly urge you to take the time to experience it for yourself and would love the opportunity to meet with you there to help embed what you see on paper in the flesh.
