Quaint seaside life is on your doorstep at this Topsham home set just a thirty-second walk from the River Exe estuary. A great choice for a family stay in Devon, Topsham’s charming cluster of traditional inns, Tudor cottages and bustling shops are a stroll away. Back home, while we can’t fault the elegant interiors, the patio area screened off from the communal parking yard is a little quirky and doesn't feel overly private. But it’s still a nice spot for morning coffees and evening sundowners and catches the sun throughout the day.
