Knowles

Bring together your nearest and dearest in this spectacular family home in the gorgeous Devon countryside. With its choice of social spaces and vast outdoor areas, it’s the perfect place for spending quality time with friends, family, and your favourite furry companions. The area is awash with dog walks, with the picturesque River Axe passing close to the property, and the South West Coast Path and paw-friendly Seaton Beach within 3 miles.

The detached Victorian property oozes grandeur, with antique furniture, high ceilings, statement wallpapers, and a plethora of period features. Enter via the grand entrance hall and into the kitchen/breakfast room, with its beautiful AGA and original scullery. There’s also a utility room for storing dog-walking gear. The impressive dining room is perfect for hosting dinner parties, with its handy hatch, electric hostess trolley, butler’s pantry. Two steps lead to the peaceful conservatory – this is the ideal place for the woofers to hang out, with direct access to the garden. In the evenings, gather in the glow of the open fire in the lounge to play games or watch a film on the Smart TV. There’s also a cosy snug where you can curl up with your favourite book. Completing the ground floor is a twin room with an en-suite shower room. The remaining six bedrooms are upstairs, four of which have en-suite facilities. Rounding off the accommodation is a stylish family bathroom. Outside, the pups will be in paradise, with vast lawns to charge around on. There’s also a pretty seating area by the pond, decked area with a BBQ, and ample entertainment, including a croquet lawn, five-a-side football pitch, and golf practise net.

Wander along the winding lanes of Colyton (0.5 miles) to explore its historic buildings and independent shops, before popping into one of the woof-welcoming inns for a bite to eat. From the town, you and your furry sidekicks can hop on one of the trams to visit the seaside town of Seaton, 3 miles away. Lyme Regis (6.5 miles) makes a fantastic doggy day out, with three beaches that welcome four-pawed visitors all year, and stunning walks along the Jurassic coastline, including to the top of Golden Cap, the highest point in the South of England.
