SITUATION Studley is a very attractive period house located along a quiet no through road in this highly desirable village. Exton sits on the eastern side of the River Exe Estuary, around six miles from the cathedral city of Exeter, with its extensive range of services and five miles from the coastal town of Exmouth, known for its long, sandy beach. Considered a particularly desirable place to live, Exton benefits from its own train station, offering convenient access to both Exeter and Exmouth, the beautiful Exe Leisure Trail and has a petrol station with a well stocked convenience store. The Puffing Billy gastro pub is within easy walking distance and the M5, A38, and A30 are all readily accessible. A half-hourly bus service connects the village with Exeter and Exmouth.
