Enjoying a truly picturesque setting on the outskirts of a quaint countryside village, this characterful cottage bursting with charm offers couples and families a peaceful base from which to discover the breathtaking landscapes of East Devon. Set between the Blackdown Hills and the Otter Valley, Buckerell is known for its picturesque countryside and traditional English charm. Regarded as the antique capital of the South West, explore the market town of Honiton, 4.5 miles away, which boasts many shops and local beauty spots including Hembury Fort (4 miles). Discover the Jurassic Coast by strolling along the promenade at Sidmouth, 10 miles away, before enjoying an ice cream on the beach or a cream tea from one of the local cafes. For a spot of retail therapy, explore the vibrant city of Exeter, 14 miles away, home to a plethora of shops, restaurants and cafes centred around the grand, Gothic cathedral.
Boasting characterful exposed beams and woodwork, as well as gorgeous floor tiles, the welcoming entrance hallway sets the wonderfully rustic yet homely ambience of the whole cottage. There’s ample space for you to kick off your walking boots and hang up your coat before leading the way into the lounge. Featuring a wood burner set inside a magnificent, exposed brickwork fireplace, more stunning ceiling beams and plush soft furnishings, the lounge couldn’t get any cosier. There’s even a charming window seat overlooking the garden, the perfect peaceful spot to catch up on a good book or plan tomorrow’s adventure. Contemporary style and rustic charm are perfectly combined in the adjoining kitchen/diner, which enjoys a beautiful farmhouse-style feel and offers space for your whole party to cook and dine with loved ones. Up the original steep and narrow staircase, you'll find two bedrooms that boast the same peaceful ambience as the ground floor. The spacious king-size bedroom features lovely countryside views, and the twin bedroom is filled with more period charm. The contemporary shower room situated opposite provides everything you need to both wash off after a long day on the local trails or kick-start your next adventure feeling refreshed.
Outside to the front of the cottage sits a delightful, enclosed garden featuring a lovely lawn, seating area and BBQ, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. This beautiful spot offers a peaceful place to sit back and unwind to the soothing sounds of birdsong and the local wildlife. Outside, you’ll also find off-road parking for two cars.
