| Welcome to Shillings Cottage |
This pretty flint cottage, with outdoor pool, sits on a gentle hillside, surrounded by gardens, an orchard and meadows rich with abundant wildlife. It lies within the folds of the beautiful Blackdown Hills. The cottage is detached and set away from the owners property. Rising between the North and South coasts of Devon and near the border with Somerset, the Blackdowns are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty |

| In lovely gardens |
| |
| 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. Late perennials flower until the first frosts and the surrounding trees have autumn tints. In sheltered spots among the well-stocked borders are seats and sun loungers from which to relish the peace and quiet and to enjoy far reaching views. The property is surrounded by meadows. |
