A detached farmhouse set within beautiful rural countryside, this impressive property is perfect for large families and group getaways, and is perfect for a relaxing retreat close to many attractions. This delightful property is found just two miles from the village of Iddlesleigh, where Michael Morpurgo, author of acclaimed film War Horse, was first inspired to write the book after chatting to a local man and First World War veteran in the pub. Venture further afield and you’ll discover many local attractions including Dartmoor, Exmoor, Westward Ho!, Appledore, Lynton and Lynmouth to the north, Exmouth and Sidmouth to the south and the lovely beaches of Bude and Widemouth to the west. The Big Sheep, Woolly Animals, The Milky Way, RHS Rosemoor Gardens, Stafford Moor Fishery and Dartington Crystal are also a short drive. Cyclists and walkers are both well catered for with the famous Tarka Trail also within easy reach.
Enter the property into the welcoming medieval entrance hall. The large farmhouse kitchen offers a range cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave and a dining room table. There is a separate utility room which houses a dishwasher, washing machine and a tumble dryer. This large property benefits from two lounges, the first of which is accessed via a step up and offers a Smart TV, cosy wood burner and patio doors into the garden. The second also offers a TV, DVD player and wood burner – the first basket of logs is provided. There is also a second entrance/snug with a sofa and TV, and is also is an ideal reading spot. There is a large king size bedroom on the ground floor, accessed via one step that has a quiet seating area, as well as a spacious shower room with a large walk-in shower and WC. The rest of the bedrooms are found upstairs and can be accessed by two staircases. The first staircase leads up to a large family room with both a king-size and single bed, followed by one twin room, a bathroom with small bath, separate shower and WC, and one further king-size room with en-suite bath, shower and WC. This room is situated so that it can be accessed by both sides of the farmhouse via doors on each side of the room, which can be closed off depending on your party make-up. The second staircase takes you to the Master bedroom with king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with shower over a P-bath and WC, a further twin room and a bathroom with separate shower and WC.
Stepping outside you can sit back and relax in the private hot tub or enjoy a meal on the patio. There is a spacious lawn area, a play area for children with a slide and climbing frame, as well as a fire pit tucked away under a tree canopy.
