The town lies on the edge of Dartmoor National Park and just off the A38 which provides quick access to Exeter and Plymouth. The towns of Totnes and Newton Abbot are both around 20 minutes' drive and have main line railway stations.
Flat 12 enjoys a choice position within the purpose-built Market Close apartment development, which is around 9 years old, being at the end of a block.
It also benefits from extra windows on the side wall and has an open-plan living room and kitchen. There is full gas fired central heating and double glazed windows.
This is a light, bright, warm home and comes with the added benefit of an allocated parking space.
