Seller Insight

“Westwood House has fitted the bill for us as an ideal home, we have been able to live on one level, with the master bedroom and study, with its handmade fitted oak furniture, being adjacent rooms. Having a connecting door to the Annex allows our daughter to have her own independent living space whilst being on hand for our needs.

 The back garden has been set up to be dog-friendly so that our two can be let out to exercise as they wish. We have also established a fertile vegetable patch and fruitful orchard to accompany the variety of shrubs and trees in our multi-purpose garden. To the front of the house is a recently upgraded area where we enjoy restful summer evenings.

When we moved here 7 years ago our immediate neighbours were immediately welcoming and the whole village likewise with its Community Shop, Church, School, and famous pub The Tom Cobley with its excellent food and choice of ales. The Village Hall hosts a wide variety of activities all year round. We soon heard the call of buzzards circling overhead and chatted to the sheep in the field opposite our entrance. Nuthatches and woodpeckers are regular visitors along many other birds.

Exeter, Crediton and Okehampton are all 20-30 minutes away affording a diverse choice of shopping and amenities.

Westwood House is now bigger than we need in our advancing years so we will be moving to a smaller property near where family are living in the East Midlands. We shall be sad to leave a village that has embraced us so well.”

Set amidst the gently undulating countryside of rural Devon, the charming village of Spreyton offers an enviable blend of community spirit and everyday convenience. Much loved for its welcoming atmosphere, the village enjoys a well-regarded primary school, a thriving community shop, a historic church, and the celebrated Tom Cobley Inn—renowned for its exceptional cuisine and impressive selection of real ales. Despite its idyllic setting, Spreyton lies just three miles from the A30 at Whiddon Down, affording excellent connectivity to Dartmoor National Park, both the north and south coasts, and the cathedral city of Exeter, along with Crediton and Okehampton.

Spreyton itself enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views towards Dartmoor, its origins tracing back to the Domesday Book. Today, it remains a vibrant and welcoming community, blending period charm with thoughtful modern development. Residents benefit from a range of local amenities and an active village life, making it a truly special place to call home.
