About the host
Hosted by Gail
Gail and Roger are both now retired after working in the public sector and bringing up a wonderful family. Our son went to Dartington college and that's when we discovered Totnes
Why they chose this property
We were drawn to the house as it had been empty and neglected for two years and we purchased it and gave it the love and attention it needed. We have worked hard on it and made it into a homely place trying to retain some of its unique features.
What makes this property unique
As we love Totnes and the surrounding area we thought the house was in the perfect location….in the heart of the quirky town.
Opposite the house is a continental air, especially in the summer where you can sit and have a glass of wine or a beer.in the square
