Where to live in Devon - help needed.

Hi everyone - I am new to the forum and would appreciate help and advice. We are hoping to move to Devon once we sell our house and would love some help as to the best areas to live around Newton Abbot / Teignmouth and anywhere in between. Thanks in advance.

We moved from Bristol to Devon a few years ago and live in Newton Abbot. Without having any detail of exactly what you are looking for and your budget I can only give you general info which you might find useful. In Newton Abbot I like the Highweek and Woolborough areas. Both are convenient for the town centre but are quiet with a pleasant setting. They also have views across the town, but as a consequence are on fairly steep hills. Most houses in Teignmouth are on the hill that rises away from the coastline. It is possible to live close to the seafront but the majority of the properties there are flats. Shaldon is an attractive village across the Teign estuary from Teignmouth, but prices tend to be higher there. There is also a village named Bishopsteignton set back from the main road between Teignmouth and Newton Abbot which is very nice. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
