This cosy detached stone barn conversion is situated adjacent to the owners' farmhouse on the outskirts of Uffculme, a Devon village in the Blackdown Hills. A perfect romantic retreat, this Uffculme cottage is all on the ground floor and has wooden floors throughout. The open-plan living area is a characterful haven to relax, divided between a cosy lounge, a dining area, and a kitchen, all overlooked by exposed A-framed beams. This same sense of country charm continues through to the double bedroom, dressed in neutral bedding, and thoughtfully accessorised. A shower room ties this all together, comprising of a classic white suite, with lovely tiled floors. Outside, this Devon cottage there is a courtyard garden from where guests are welcome to wander over to a wildlife pond. The village of Uffculme has a shop, pub, splendid walks along the River Culm and Coldharbour Mill, which is the only surviving woollen mill in Devon and has a fascinating working museum. Half an hour's drive from this Uffculme cottage will take you to the beautiful cathedral city of Exeter, which has a mix of culture, historic buildings, a cathedral, and a theatre. Michelin Star Restaurants all lie a short distance away, and Devon boasts some of the finest food including the Darts Farm, Exeter Food Festival, and The Jack in the Green Inn.
