Found in the middle of stunning, unspoilt Devon countryside, this lovingly renovated stone cottage is set on a working farm in the hamlet of Cove and is a perfect rural retreat for couples or a small family. The small town of Bampton, with a good choice of shops, pubs and restaurants, is just 3 miles away, while the larger town of Tiverton is 5 miles away. Also, just a 5-mile drive, the National Trust-owned Knightshayes is a 19th century manor house with one of England’s best post-war gardens and more than 250 acres of parkland and woodland to explore, while for those wishing to venture further afield, the cathedral city of Exeter is 19 miles away.
The two-storey cottage, one of a terrace of four on the farm, is reached via a single, partly made lane next to the main farmhouse. Designed to a high standard and with underfloor heating, the property has lovely features including barn-style timber doors, original beams and a delightful turning staircase. The double-height lounge area with comfortable seating is open plan to a Shaker-style kitchen and a spacious dining area, and there is also a useful downstairs WC. There are two pretty bedroom upstairs, a double and a twin, each with quirky sloped ceilings, attractive timber furniture and their own en-suite shower room.
The cottage has a private patio area with garden furniture, and the use of a shared utility room with washing machines and tumble dryer. It overlooks a level, lawn garden with well-stocked flowerbeds, and nearby there is a children’s play area. There is the shared hot tub, which enjoys exceptional views over rolling woodland and hills.
