Devon’s Okehampton offers lifestyle change
Retirees often head to Okehampton to enjoy all the lovely Devon
town has to offer.
Its location on the South Coast and around just
7,000 residents, making it the sort of place where people can
relax and have some peace and quiet and really get to know the
local community that they are living in.
One of the most notable aspects of Okehampton is the beauty of both
itself as a town, and the other settlements which surround it. The
town is bordered by a number of smaller dwellings and
villages, as well as countryside which provides the perfect
opportunity for new residents of Devon to take up walking and
explore nature when they have moved there. A good example of this
is the village of Folly Gate, a picturesque small area which gives
people a great chance to find something new and attractive to
explore.
Okehampton itself though also has many nice areas to
discover, including the ruins of the castle which once stood in its
town.
When living in a less heavily populated area, it will also be
important to make sure that transport links are good to ensure that
people have the chance to visit larger shopping areas when they
need some retail therapy.
Property for sale in Okehampton delivers on this front,
with several buses travelling to the surrounding larger
towns and cities.
