Property Description
“Devon's best kept secret… Just inland from some of Devon's loveliest and most natural beaches lies the village of Tuckenhay set along Bow Creek on the River Dart….”
In a setting of stunning natural beauty, Tuckenhay Mill is the centrepiece of a cluster of country homes and cottages with superb leisure facilities including two indoor and one outdoor pools, making it ideal for a family holiday for all ages.
South Devon awaits you
There is also extensive access to the coastal footpath for walking and the wilderness that is Dartmoor for walking, climbing and riding.
This is a mecca for ramblers, bird-watchers, swimmers, surfers, horse riders, golfers and those interested in fishing, boating, sailing and windsurfing.
In addition, there are many historic NT houses to visit including Agatha Christies's Greenway as well as a local vineyard (with award-winning wines) at Sharpham.
