Latest house prices for Newton Poppleford, Sidmouth

Newton Poppleford sits along the A3052, roughly four miles inland from the coastal town of Sidmouth. The village’s name traces back to its origins as a ‘pebbly ford’ across the River Otter, a crossing point that has shaped its layout for centuries. Most of the settlement stretches along the main road, characterized by a mix of traditional cob and thatch cottages and more modern residential pockets that have grown as the village became a practical base for those working in Exeter or Honiton. For daily life, there is a primary school, a local shop, and the Cannon Inn, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the Pebblebed Heaths and the Otter Valley. The terrain around the village offers extensive walking routes through the nearby Aylesbeare Common, and the river itself remains a central feature of the local geography, occasionally reminding residents of its presence when the water levels rise in the flood meadows.
