Description and Location:
14 Firs Park is a very popular place to live for those seeking to down size in their retirement years and be part of a friendly community living in peaceful and picturesque location with views of the surrounding countryside.
Located approximately two miles from Exeter’s city centre on the western outskirts of the city, the park offers a convenient, picturesque and secure environment for those seeking a quiet lifestyle.
A convenience store is situated within walking distance from the park and a little further on is the nearest public house, namely ‘The Twisted Oak’ and the village of Ide. Ide has a thriving community and a good range of local amenities which include two further public houses, ‘The Huntsman’s Inn’ and ‘The Poachers Inn’ as well as a Church of England church and Ide Congregational chapel. St Thomas’s shopping centre, approached at the bottom of Dunsford Road, provides an extensive range of shopping facilities including a doctor’s surgery, various churches, banks, post office, building societies, railway station and St Thomas Pleasure Park. Beyond the main shopping centre of St Thomas heading towards the Exe Bridge is a large out of town retail shopping complex which includes stores such as Boots, TK Maxx, JJB Sports, Next and Riverside Leisure Centre.
A bus service found at the top of Dunsford Road takes you to and from the city centre and St Thomas at regular intervals.
