Situation - The area known as Higher Huxham is situated within a wonderful rural location, midway between the hamlet of Huxham to the south and Columbjohn to the north, on the east side of the River Culm, near Rewe and Stoke Canon. Surrounding the village is beautiful unspoilt countryside, making a fantastic position for sporting pursuits, easy access to various footpaths and several bridleways, including Killerton and Danes Wood. Stoke Canon has a good range of day-to-day amenities including a church, shop, primary school and community-run public house, along with a range of community activities.

Although rural, this part of Devon is very accessible, with the M5 accessible at Exeter, Cullompton and Tiverton providing links to the A38 to Plymouth, or the A30 to Cornwall to the South, and Bristol and London to the North and East. There are regular rail services to central London from Exeter in just over 2 hours. Exeter International Airport provides a number of domestic and international flights.
