The property is located in Otterton which is a small village in a lovely valley, whose historic origins precede most of the villages in this quiet, pastoral setting.

Prior to the arrival of the Normans, the area was believed to be settled by the Saxons and became the largest settlement in the South East of Devon. Originally this picturesque village with its thatched roofs, brick and cob buildings was a port town; however over the centuries, as the river Otter became laden with silt, Otterton became agricultural. There is still farming in the outlying environs of Otterton, but the economics of the village now includes tourism due to the thousands of people that come to visit the Otter Estuary Nature Reserve. Visitors also come to Otterton to walk to Ladram Bay and to see the shingle beach, red sandstone stacks and small caves.

The Nature Reserve is also a Site of Scientific Interest due to the ecosystem that supports thousands of birds of many varieties throughout the year. The South West Coast Path eastwards gives you the opportunity to see magnificent cliffs that are part of the Jurassic Coast with its prehistoric fossils, magnificent cliffs and rock formations.

The walk to the Reserve and the Jurassic Coast begins in Otterton at the end of the village where the picturesque bridge built in 1827 over the River Otter is located. The village green and the distinct church tower that rises above the town is part of the scenic panorama of Otterton. The church tower at the eastern end of the present nave, is believed to be a remnant of the monk's church that was pulled down after the Dissolution. The other noteworthy historic building is the Otter Mill, set beside the River Otter by the side of the nineteenth century bridge. On this side of the bridge is the trail head for the walk along the River Otter. The Mill has been painstakingly restored and is still a working mill, with evidence that a watermill was in use here since 100AD.

Of course when you visit Otterton, upon entering the village you will sight the prominent \"Bicton Scriptural Direction Post\" (or Brick Cross for short), a pillar in the centre of the crossroads, surmounted by a cross with religious inscriptions. It was placed there in 1580 by order of the Sheriff of Devon who had to order the burning of a witch. No doubt this was erected as a warning to those professing, or shall we say, those practicing witchcraft as a profession.

The property is only a short walk away from the local primary school which was rated \"good\" on the last Ofstead inspection. In addition to this, Bicton College is only a short bus or car ride away.
