Exeter dates from Roman times and Plymouth is steeped in maritime history.

Additionally there are sought after residential roads, fine period property and some fabulous riverside homes.
As you would imagine the villages which surround the cities vary in size. All are very popular as any modern developments are integrated with the traditional village homes to offer a wider choice in style and size.

Throughout the county there are the ‘Chocolate box’ cottages with ‘roses around the door’. For those who would like a character home without the upkeep, a barn conversion may be the answer. These provide modern living in a character building and over the years many have been made into fabulous residences on the outskirts of a town, village or in a more rural location.
