Steal away for a romantic retreat in rural Devon discovering walks from your doorstep and a cosy space to unwind at the end of each day. This characterful reverse level cottage is located on the grounds of the owner’s property where peace and quiet is assured, ideal for two hoping to enjoy the calm of the Devonshire countryside. Authentic original features including vaulted ceilings, brick walls and original beams add to the charming farmhouse nature of this pretty accommodation, whilst surrounding gardens and an acre of orchard space is perfect for spending time outdoors and exercising your four-pawed companion.

External steps lead to the first floor of this pretty barn conversion, a building complete with climbing vines and stunning greenery in warm months. You’re instantly met by a bright open-plan living/dining room where evenings can be spent with your feet up. Comfortable sofas face a smart TV for logging in and picking up where you left off with your favourite shows. This storey also contains a compact but highly resourceful kitchen for preparing meals to be enjoyed at the dining table or on the patio space. Follow the spiral staircase to the ground floor to discover a comfortable king-size bedroom, complete with fresh linens and an electric fire-effect wood burner that keeps the space cosy and warm.

A short car journey leads to the Dartmoor National Park (5 miles), a fantastic beauty spot that offers walks in mystical woodlands and unbeatable walking routes. The cathedral city of Exeter is 15 miles away and a cultural hub to explore, while beautiful Haldon Forest Park is 20 miles. For a trip to the coast, travel 27 miles to Exmouth which gives way to the Jurassic Coast, a 96-mile heritage walking route.
