With three bedrooms and room for one canine family member, this spacious detached bungalow is nestled in a quiet, well-heeled residential area in Topsham, among large garden grounds. Conveniently located for making the most of the town’s excellent range of independent shops and restaurants, you can also treat pup and the family to great days out in the nearby picturesque villages and seaside towns.

Enter through pleasing wooden gates into enclosed mature gardens, perfect for curious kids and canines to explore the nooks and crannies. Inside, a light, contemporary feel is accented with tasteful wooden features throughout. A spacious lounge/dining area invites you to settle into the comfy sofas by a wood burner, resting tired feet and paws on wooden floors. Relax in front of the TV, or enjoy a home-cooked meal at a fine table with seating for six. Choose a book from the well-stocked shelf. Enjoy a spot of al fresco dining on the patio, firing up the charcoal BBQ in the warmer months, or try a spot of outside table tennis. Little ones will go mutts in the playroom, full of games, toys and bean bags. Recline in the triple-aspect garden room, overlooking the greenery of your ample garden space. After a day exploring, retire to one of two super king-size rooms or the twin, or refresh in the stylish bath with overhead shower.

This tranquil location is also easily accessible to Topsham, and Exeter city centre a short 4-mile drive. Make a weekend break to see the Exeter Chiefs for a spot of rugby, or indulge walkers and nature lovers of the four-footed type with the RSPB Exminster Marshes and its stunning walks (footpaths only for your well-behaved tail-waggers) where you can admire beautiful water birds. Hop on the ferry across the Exe Estuary for more pleasing walks.

Beautiful garden. M5 motorway is quite close, 500m, and is a constant low level background noise. Great cycle ways and lots of interesting things to do.

Highfields is an absolute gem of a property, excellent location, we were 45 minutes away from all locations we visited. Located in a very quiet area. Very comfortable and very well maintained and equipped with everything you need. The garden is the jewel in the crown, very secure if you have a dog , watching the birds, the woodpecker who visits Read morefrequently, squirrels , the fox who paid a daytime visit!!! You wont be disappointed if you book a stay here. Hide

Highfields is a spacious property, with a large garden and and a comfortable summer house. The small town of Topsham is a short walk away, with a variety of independent shops, cafes, eateries and pubs. Highfields is a great base for a relaxing holiday in East and South Devon

A great base for exploring around the area - comfortable beds - nice big fridge. Gorgeous large garden which the grandchildren loved. We had a great time- we ran out of time to do everything so we will hopefully be back - would recommend and would stay again.

Very comfortable accommodation. Kitchen equipment close at hand and appliances easy to use. Notes and instructions useful. Garden lovely and interesting. Easy access to town and station good, needed as we came by train. Town has beautiful walks nearby, town history of buildings, estuary beautiful and bird life plentiful. Local Co-op essential.

We have had three wonderful weeks at Highfield. The house itself is so spacious and comfortable and with everything you could possibly need. The garden was the real surprise. It is stunning and a true sanctuary to relax in and enjoy the birds, the trees and the bears that keep such good company. Very good communication with the owners and also a veRead morery friendly approach by Holiday Cottages when booking the property (especially for us that live abroad). Highly recommend Hide
