My sister and her other half moved from Welwyn Garden City to Okehampton about five years ago doing pretty much what you’re describing Bambam.

Both in their 50’s, no kids in tow and took early retirement. Place in WGC sold for strong money and they bought a 4 bed detached for cash. They both love it.

30 minutes drive to Exeter or get the train, North Devon / Cornish beaches 40 - 50 minutes drive, South Devon beaches the same, Dartmoor on the doorstep. London by train in 3 hours with a change at Exeter.

They spent a lot of time researching and looking at places to move to before deciding on Okehampton. They turned down a lot of places on the M5 corridor between Exeter and Bristol as they didn’t like what they found, similarly off of the A30 east of Exeter.
