The following is a quotation from the home owner:
   
"The first thing I noticed when we moved to Thornmoor Farm was how friendly and welcoming the locals were, all stopping to introduce themselves as they passed by and have invited us to various activities such as pub quizzes etc.
We have enjoyed the peace and quiet here and the abundance of wildlife that visit us, we even have a barn owl that has taken up residence in one of the outbuildings. The location is excellent, although it feels really rural, we are only a short drive to the A30 and can access coastline in Devon and Cornwall or visit moorland all in a short space of time. Roadford lake with beautiful walks, cycling and water sport activities is just a few minute's drive away and was a favourite place to take our old dog to explore. A versatile property that is peaceful and private and can be whatever you want it to be".
