This reverse-level home in the Devon countryside offers the perfect blend of coast and country for a group or family of six looking to explore the region. Start with a leisurely stroll through South Molton’s (3.5 miles) Pannier Market for fresh local produce, then head to Quince Honey Farm (2 miles) where kids can learn about the preservation of bees and burn energy in the indoor play area. Keen walkers can immerse themselves in the wild beauty of Exmoor National Park, with trails that wind through moorland, wooded valleys, and up to the dramatic Valley of the Rocks (20 miles). On sunny days, head to the coast, with award-winning beaches like Woolacombe, Westward Ho! and Saunton Sands all within 21 miles of the holiday home. Book a surf lesson, hunt for crabs in the rock pools or roll out your beach towel on the golden sands and relax with your holiday read.
Marvel at the spectacular lakeside views before stepping inside the reverse-level wooden-clad lodge. The open-plan living space is designed for comfort, with plush sofas, sleek industrial beams, and a wood burner ready for cosy evenings (please note, there is no TV in this room). Head upstairs to a relaxed snug where squishy bean bags and a Smart TV provide a hangout spot for younger troops. The show-stopping kitchen is beside this and is decorated in contemporary colours and textures, adding a modern twist to the rustic charm. Its island seating, reading nook, Smart TV and views that stretch across the lake mean it’s the heart of the home. All three beautifully designed king-size bedrooms and the bathroom are on the ground floor and ready for deep slumbers until dawn.
Outside, kick back on the spacious deck with a glass of something cold or strike up the BBQ to dine alfresco. Feel free to explore the acre of open landscape and take it all in, and you may even spot some of the roaming chickens on your travels. There’s private parking for two cars.
