This elegant and comfortable cottage offers a rural escape for couples, friends, or families, nestled in the heart of Devon’s stunning countryside. With an Aga radiating warmth, a crackling wood burner in the lounge and a private garden, this cosy home away from home is ready and waiting for you and a couple of canine companions at any time of the year.
Inside, natural textures and soft, muted colours create a sense of rural charm and simplicity. The spacious lounge/diner features pale walls and a wooden floor, with a cosy wood burner nestled within a brick fireplace, offering a warm spot for sleepy hounds. A Smart TV and comfortable seating make it the perfect place to unwind, while the dining table, set by the window, comfortably seats four. Glazed doors open into the quaint kitchen, equipped with both an Aga and an electric oven and hob, making meal preparation a breeze. The kitchen leads to a practical utility area. From the corner of the lounge, stairs ascend to the first floor where you’ll find lovely exposed wooden beams and charming sloped ceilings. All three of the cottage’s pretty bedrooms – one king-size and two doubles – are located on this level and share a spacious family bathroom. Across the small lane, the cottage’s private garden invites you to sit and relax in the fresh country air, offering a peaceful outdoor space to let pets run and play during your stay. Garage parking is available as well as additional off-road parking for one car.
