Approached along a single-track lane and private driveway, this unique property nestles close to Exmoor National Park and is perfect for groups of friends and family with up to two dogs in tow. The nearby national park is famous for its dramatic coastal views, heather moorland and woodlands, and varied wildlife – offering a paradise for you to explore. The town of South Molton (10 miles) is renowned for its pannier market held twice a week in the town centre, and you can spend an afternoon here exploring the antique shops or just enjoying a classic Devon cream tea. For those who love the sea, Devon’s sandy coastline is a haven for surfing and sandcastle-building, and can be reached in just under 30 miles where Appledore, Instow and Westward Ho! await.
On entering this farmhouse which dates to the 17th century, you will find plenty of character features alongside contemporary fixtures and fittings. Stepping in from the front door, you are greeted by a warm and welcoming lounge which offers the perfect spot to unwind after a day of Devonshire adventure. Fire up the wood burner in here, flick on the Smart TV and sink into the inviting sofas. When stomachs start to rumble, walk through to the wonderful farmhouse kitchen with its flagstone flooring and exposed beams overhead. Find all you need in here to whip up feasts for the group, who can gather at the nearby dining table to enjoy the chef’s work in the glow of a second wood burner. For some post-dinner relaxation, head to the peaceful sunroom to catch up on your holiday read or plan the next day of adventure. Nearby, you’ll also find a handy utility room where you can store your walking boots and let any pups into the garden. When day turns to night, guests have five charming bedrooms to choose from, the first of which is on the ground floor – a cosy twin room. A well-appointed family shower room and WC complete the ground floor. Upstairs await four more bedrooms, a super-king-size room with double-aspect windows, two king-size rooms and a cosy single room. Serving these bedrooms and completing the interior are two well-equipped family bathrooms.
Heading outside, you are welcome to enjoy the surrounding area, which offers just under an acre of lawns and natural habitat, encompassing a small pond (children must be supervised at all times), an abundance of wildlife, and many established shrubs. Outdoor seating beckons al fresco meals as a group, made more memorable by the fire pit which is perfect for grilling. Off-road parking for up to six cars is also available.
