This chocolate-box cottage in a rural Devonshire village is perfect for a memorable countryside getaway for a family of four plus one canine companion. Inside the thatched cottage, which dates back to the 1600s, you’ll find wooden beamed ceilings, a luxury roll-top bath and an exposed stone ornamental fireplace. Dine alfresco in the garden, take advantage of the private sauna and explore the surrounding nature reserves, quaint villages and coastline.
Step inside to find a cosy neutral-toned lounge with an eye-catching exposed brick and stone feature fireplace. To one side of the room is an elegant dining set beside a wall of aged wooden panelling. There are also two plump sofas in front of the Smart TV. Continue into the galley farmhouse-style kitchen with wooden countertops, rustic hanging lights and neutral tones throughout. Next to here is a convenient utility room with a WC. Also on the ground floor is a study room with a desk and a daybed. Climb the cottage-style stairs to reach a family bathroom with a roll-top bath plus two bedrooms – a king-size and a king-size zip-and-link which can be made into twin beds on request. Outside is a spacious garden with a lawn and furniture. To the front of the property is a separate barn containing a sauna and changing area.
