Local Area & Essentials



Though wonderfully secluded, Higher Mapstone is close to the idyllic village of Lustleigh, known for its thatched cottages, riverside walks and two must-visit gems:

• The Cleave Pub – widely considered one of the best Sunday roasts in Devon

The property offers ample parking including a double garage, car port and additional spaces. A car is essential for exploring the surrounding countryside.



Please note: The estate is home to deer—dogs must be well controlled and kept from chasing wildlife.
