SITUATION Thornwood is in a quiet tucked away location. However the village of Colyford itself still benefits from an active community with a range of facilities on offer including two village inns, a bike shop and cafe, post office/general store, parish church, and a village hall.
The small historic town of Colyton is situated about a mile away and is highly regarded for its beautiful period architecture. The town offers an appealing range of convenience shops and a doctors surgery. Both Colyford and Colyton are perhaps best known for the much acclaimed Colyton Grammar School, one of England's top state schools.
England's first World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast, lies just 2 miles to the South via the seaside town of Seaton and the Regency town of Sidmouth is just 10 miles away. To the East there is the coastal town of Lyme Regis and to the West is the city of Exeter, which is within easy reach providing all the amenities one would expect from Devon's prime conurbation, with a mainline station offering direct access to London. There is also an additional station which offers another line to Waterloo. The property is also positioned nearby to a bus route.
