There is a very good range of mature trees and shrubs and on the south east side of the house you’ll find a well laid-out Victorian walled garden with borders containing flowering plants and shrubs. Within this area there is a useful workshop and storage building.An ideal location for easy access to Exeter International Airport, the M5 motorway, a mainline train station and the A30, Clyst Honiton is also located near the delightful village of Topsham, home to the renowned Darts Farm Shopping Village.
