Located on the edge of the Taw Valley, this luxurious farmhouse is a veritable crowd-pleaser. Pet-friendly, it features four en-suite bedrooms and a fabulous choice of social spaces inside and out, while a beautiful BBQ hut and gorgeous games room add all-weather appeal.
Sitting on a farm conveniently close to the North Devon coast, this rural retreat delivers on every level. Park and unpack at leisurely pace; a handy cloakroom is off the hallway, while a door to the left leads into a kitchen/diner with a utility room to its rear. Bar-style seating at an island unit and a breakfast table create convivial settings; for more formal mealtimes a separate dining room is to the right of the entrance hall. Exposed ceiling beams, a wood burner and French doors onto the garden make this a lovely space in which to linger; there’s a second wood burner in the adjacent lounge, which is also beamed and boasts leather seating arranged before a Smart TV. Upstairs, four bedrooms off the landing each have their own en-suite shower room or bathroom. Choose between two super-king-size rooms and two king-size rooms – all have zip-and-link beds which can be made up as twins on request. Your living space extends into two large garden areas. The first – totally enclosed and accessed via the dining room’s French doors – is laid mainly to lawn, with a patio furnished for al fresco dining. The second garden area is to the front of the property and includes a wooden BBQ hut and a historic roundhouse barn where you can play table tennis, table football and darts.
