Reached along country lanes, this delightful cottage was originally built as a Devon Long House in the 15th century with a ‘modern’ extension built around 1945. There is a window placed in the roof of one of the bedrooms, so that you can see the soot that was deposited around 500 years ago. Upon entering you’ll head through to the open-plan lounge/snug.
