About this property
Wisteria Cottage, Topsham
Wisteria Cottage is a charming period cottage located in the heart of picturesque Topsham, 4 miles from Exeter.
The house sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms and forms an ideal base to enjoy the town’s shops, cafes and restaurants, which are within a short walk, and to explore South Devon.
Set in an idyllic spot on the River Exe, Topsham is an historic town that was once an important port. It retains a quaint maritime feel with Dutch-style merchants' houses, Georgian buildings, boatyards and a busy quayside.
