Surrounded by rolling countryside and set on the edge of the Blackdown Hills National Landscape, this charming cottage offers couples or solo travellers a peaceful base from which to explore Devon’s scenic walks, pretty towns and glorious coastline. From beach days to canal-side strolls, there is plenty to discover before returning to your private garden or pretty lounge with a crackling wood burner.
This welcoming annexe, attached to the owner’s home, combines country style with modern comforts. Step into the open-plan kitchen/diner, in which large windows frame rural views. Cooks will enjoy the practical set-up, which includes both a microwave and a dishwasher. From here, the accommodation flows into a cosy lounge, where soft furnishings surround an exposed-brick fireplace and a wood burner, creating an inviting place to relax with a book or a film on the Smart TV. Upstairs, the spacious king-size bedroom offers ample storage and features an en-suite bathroom, perfect for long soaks, while a separate shower room across the hall adds the choice of a quick, refreshing rinse. The enclosed garden provides a patio for breakfast in the sunshine or evening dining, with a lawn where dogs can wag their tails. Making arrivals and departures straightforward, private parking for one car is included.
The cottage is in the hamlet of Blackborough, with walking routes from the door and many of Devon’s finest scenery and attractions within easy reach. For spectacular views, especially at sunset, head to Culmstock Beacon (4.5 miles). The historic market town of Tiverton is just 14 miles away, where there’s a castle, a canal and an array of shops and places to eat. For beach lovers, Sidmouth is a gem of a seaside town just 16.5 miles away, and Exmouth is around 24 miles away.
