Property code: OC-NETHER

Located in a peaceful setting on a large cattle farm, this pretty, thatched property is ideal for two couples or a family with up to four dogs looking for a country retreat and a base from which to explore the wild beauty of Exmoor and the surrounding villages, towns and coast. In the bustling market town of South Molton, just 6 miles away, there is a path along the river and through woodland that will have tails wagging all the way to North Molton.

This elegant two-storey cottage features light interiors and beautiful exposed beams in the kitchen and dining area, plus all the contemporary comforts of home. A spacious tiled hallway with a curved staircase and large window leads to the first floor. On the ground floor, the farmhouse-style kitchen has a long dining table, and an Aga and electric cooker make meal preparation a breeze. A utility room and study off the kitchen give the hounds their own area in the house or the kids the chance to plug in a games console. The stylish living room on the west side of the house is furnished with plush armchairs and has a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace for chilly evenings - a perfect place to relax. Patio doors lead from the living room to the garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms - a super-king-size bed that can be made into twin beds upon request with TV and en-suite shower room and a super-king-size. A family bathroom with a bath and separate WC completes the offering for this attractive cottage. Outside, there is a large, enclosed garden where four-legged friends and children can run around. With a seating area and swing bench and a gate leading to the next field, guests can stroll down to the stream or enjoy evening walks in the surrounding countryside.

Take advantage of the outstanding natural beauty and proximity to Exmoor to visit the Grand Western Canal Country Park (16.5 miles) where no stick will be left unfetched. Admire Landacre Bridge (13 miles) or let your four-legged friends lead the way to Wimbleball Lake (19 miles).

A lovely huge old house that we loved, the dogs loved it, beautifully kept garden and a lovely round side garden. The house had everything we needed. We loved the lounge and the kitchen, there was a heatwave when we stayed and the thick walls kept us lovely and cool.
