Perfectly placed, there is much to see and do nearby with the stunning cathedral city of Exeter being just a short drive away and offering a variety of shops, restaurants and amenities.

Both Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks all within easy reach. Beach lovers can explore the world-renowned Jurassic coastline, including picturesque Lyme Regis, and the pretty seaside resorts of Sidmouth, Exmouth, Branscombe and Seaton. There are also a number of National Trust Properties in the area including the Killerton and Knightshayes.

Step inside this stunning, award winning, architecturally designed property that certainly boasts the WOW factor!  As you open the front door, the immediate area is designed as a place to dry off your dogs ( a hose is just outside for washing your muddy friends down ) and for them to relax in a comfy bed, with complimentary blankets, while you carry on into the undeniably useful lobby, with lots of boot and coat storage, and here decant all of your outdoor wear after a day exploring.

The accommodation opens into a fabulous light and bright central hallway which extends up to the first floor and is presented with beautiful contemporary chandeliers. Owing to the upside down arrangement of the property, the gorgeous bedrooms are located on the ground floor. The first of which is a beautifully dressed, super-kingsize bed room, with a deep, contemporary, freestanding bath in the room, gorgeous countryside views, and an elegant, en-suite bathroom with his and her hand basins and WC. Next door, a pretty twin bedroom which boasts a concealed dressing area with plenty of storage, full length mirror and en-suite shower room with mirror lit hand basins, heated towel rail and WC. Back into the impressive double height hallway and venturing up the feature oak staircase ( with built in child stair gates, top and bottom that match the staircase and can be kept open if so wished ) and onto the first floor, the property then opens up into an impressive and contemporary lounge/kitchen/diner area with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and stunning views of the valley. Here you can relax on the leather sofas in front of the wood burner effect gas fire and huge vaulted windows and watch the deer across the fields. The contemporary kitchen is also perfectly appointed and includes everything you could possibly need when on holiday. There's an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a Nespresso coffee machine in this very modern kitchen. There's plenty of space around the table for dining and planning your adventures, or sipping a coffee and admiring the views.

Heading outside and located to the side of the property, a fabulous enclosed outside area has been provided for your enjoyment and leisure and this includes a lovely sun-trap patio with a private hot tub, garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ, alongside an area of lawn. An external utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer, and on the other side of the property there is another large enclosed gravelled area offering ample private off-road parking alongside a secure area of grass and trees for doggy visitors.

The house was fantastic - clean, well presented and in a quiet location, well away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to reach the town if you wished. A brilliant place to unwind and do your own thing. Met the owner who was extremely friendly and very helpful but "not in your face". We stayed for two weeks and it was well worth it.

The Art House was the perfect location to escape busy London. My friends and I loved the property, truly unique, and the surrounding countryside is lovely. Hot tub was perfect for the cold autumnal evenings. Richard is a very attentive host, couldnt recommend this place enough. Hope to be back someday soon!
