Retire to Topsham

Retirement living in Topsham

Topsham is a coastal and affluent suburb of Exeter that sits alongside the Exe estuary, which is famous for its sailing and water sports. It was once a thriving port and shipbuilding centre, and today there’s still a charming passenger ferry that transports passengers across the Exe, as well as plenty of waterside pubs where you can stop for lunch. You can even take long or short cruises where you can discover the wildlife of the Exe estuary or visit Exmouth’s sandy beaches.

Things to do in Topsham

Topsham is a desirable and quirky town that boasts a selection of independent retailers. Within Topsham, there’s a popular antiques centre, an authentic Sunday market and plenty of local stores where the owners are incredibly passionate about their goods.

Within the town, there’s also a collection of distinctive buildings, including 17^th century merchant houses that sit along The Strand. One of these is the Topsham Museum, where a number of interesting exhibitions are held.

Surrounding Areas

If you like to get out and explore further afield, then you’ll be pleased to know that our retirement properties in Topsham will be located on a main bus route, with bus stops immediately outside the development. The development will also be close to Topsham railway station, which sits on the Avocet Line. All trains from Exmouth to Exeter St David’s stop at Topsham, and there’s a half-hourly daytime service in each direction.

With so much to see, do and explore in the local area, it’s perhaps no wonder that The Sunday Times voted Topsham as the best place to live in the South West in April 2019.
