Overview
Property code: 87985

This remarkable property has been converted and furnished to a high specification and offers a private garden, wood burner, and much more. It is the perfect Devon bolthole.

Situated 10 miles from the Exmoor National Park, there is an array of walks to enjoy, wildlife to look out for including owls, hedgehogs, wild deer, and kingfishers, and the chance for stargazing with minimal light pollution. Just 1 mile away is the village of Umberleigh where there’s a lovely pub and a community shop which sells a range of produce. The regional towns of Barnstaple and South Molton are within 10 miles and have popular pannier markets. Walkers and cyclists can enjoy the traffic-free Tarka Trail (10 miles), while other local attractions include RHS Rosemoor Gardens and Dartington Crystal, both 16 miles from the property.

When you arrive, you can walk straight into the ground-floor sleeping quarters or head up an external flight of steps to the first-floor living space. The ground-floor entrance hall is the perfect place to hang your coats and kick off your shoes, there is a utility cupboard with a built-in washer dryer. This floor also boasts two spacious bedrooms – one with a super-king zip-and-link bed (which can be made into twin beds on request) and a super-king bed in the other. Both bedrooms have Smart TVs and each have their own en-suite shower rooms with WCs. As you head upstairs to the first floor, take a moment to appreciate the impressive open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which is well-furnished and equipped. The perfect backdrop for chatting whilst cooking in the kitchen area. The kitchen offers an electric oven and hob, fridge with freezer section, dishwasher, double wine cooler and microwave. Take a seat at the dining table to enjoy the tasty meal or perhaps enjoy a game of cards whilst planning the next day’s activities. The fabulous lounge area is light and airy with a galleried area overlooking the entrance hall; sit back and relax amongst the rich, leather sofas and soft furnishings and watch your favourite programme on the Smart TV whilst warming your toes in front of the roaring wood burner.

We had a wonderful stay in a beautifully presented accommodation in an idyllic setting. The owner was thoughtful enough to contact us prior to our stay and recommended the local pub The Grove Inn where we had a superb meal and also gave us some tasty homemade damson vodka on arrival at the cottage. The WiFi connection is not very strong so this mayRead more not suit those reliant on a connection. Hide

A large, stylish and well equipped property. Very comfortable stay for the week. It is in quite an isolated position with narrow roads and lanes to get to it, which would not suit everyone. No mobile signal for us and the rural broadband was intermittent while we were there.
