LOCATION Fallapit is situated just outside the village of East Allington, around three miles from the market town of Kingsbridge & ten miles from historic Totnes. Dating back to the 15th Century, the estate was owned by the Fortescue family until the late 18th Century
- the original manor house was rebuilt around 1810, & split into apartments in 2008. Today the country estate offers a peaceful retreat in the countryside, surrounded by acres of grounds. The market town of Kingsbridge, less than ten minutes drive away, is situated on the pretty Salcombe Estuary & offers shops, restaurants, plus leisure centre with indoor pool, whilst picturesque Salcombe, with its stunning waterfront, boutiques & tea rooms, is just a 20 minute drive from the estate. With historic Totnes nearby, offering individual shops, weekly Elizabethan market, boat trips, museums & more, & the beautiful beaches & stunning scenery of the South Devon coastline within easy reach, this is the ideal location for exploring the South Hams.
