This pretty flint cottage and outdoor pool sits on a gentle hillside, surrounded by gardens, an orchard and meadows rich with abundant wildlife. The cottage is detached and set away from the owners property. Lying within the folds of the beautiful Blackdown Hills which rise between the North and South coasts of Devon and near the border with Somerset, these hills are criss-crossed with a network of quiet public footpaths and are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This self catering holiday cottage is the only cottage to let on the property. It is hidden at the end of a secluded drive with off road parking. Set within six acres and a field away from a country lane, It lies within meadows and looks out over peaceful gardens to far reaching views. A well behaved dog over twelve months old is welcome. Please note, there is an additional fee per week.
The gardens surrounding the cottage are carefully designed to provide interest throughout the year. Early spring bulbs and blossom are followed by vibrant summer colours and scent. The surrounding trees and shrubs have autumn tints and late perennials flower until the first frosts. The pool shelters beside the cottage, enclosed by well-stocked borders. There are seats and sun loungers from which you can enjoy a dreamy dip and relish the peace and quiet.
