Vendors opinion Pethybridge Farmhouse dates back six (or more) centuries, but has been regularly updated and looked after and has an attractive mix of comfort and interest. The thick walls double as heat preservers, while coloured windows bring pretty sunlight. Whilst my modern kitchen and bathroom equipment makes life easier.

Outside there is a variety of plants and trees, including apples and pears. Further away, but only a short walk, are the village shop, post office. Children's playground, church and pub, while a similar distance the other way is the path to local woodlands and Dartmoor. Only a few miles away, one can easily get to schools, railways, doctors and every other necessity.

So, come to a friendly community in a beautiful setting, which has looked after me and my children for 25 years. We will be sad to leave a warm community, but need closer access to facilities, now that I am not able to drive."
