LOCATION: Nestled within the picturesque surroundings of the Exe Estuary lies Cockwood, a charming former fishing village that boasts a rich history and a unique character. This quaint village is a harmonious blend of traditional period cottages clustered around the picturesque harbour, alongside individually designed properties that grace School Hill and Cofton Hill. The latter development has been evolving since the 1920s, driven by the awe-inspiring and ever-changing views it offers of the Exe estuary.

Cockwood is more than just a place; it's a thriving community where residents enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle. The village is home to a beloved primary school and boasts two welcoming public houses. For daily conveniences, residents can rely on the well-stocked convenience store, a local surgery, and a nearby pharmacy located in the adjacent village of Starcross.

Connectivity is excellent, with public transport options aplenty. Starcross is conveniently positioned on the Paddington-Exeter-Penzance main railway line, and Cockwood itself benefits from a frequent bus service available just off the harbour connecting Exeter, Newton Abbot, and Torquay . For a wider range of shopping and amenities, the vibrant town of Dawlish is a mere 4 miles away, while the historic University and Cathedral City of Exeter lies approximately 10 miles to the north.

When it comes to leisure activities, Cockwood and its surroundings offer a plethora of options. Golf enthusiasts can challenge themselves on the 18-hole links and heathland courses at Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth. Dawlish Warren, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, is a haven for birdwatchers, attracting ornithologists from across the country. Its sandy beaches also provide a perfect setting for relaxation. Sailing and boating enthusiasts will find ample opportunities in the Exe and Teign estuaries, with notable clubs like Starcross Yacht Club and Fishing and Cruising Club adding to the maritime charm of the region.
