From the old stone hearth housing a wood-burning stove to the stable-style doors and wood-clad rooms, this cottage embraces its 19th-century charms. Sitting in the quiet village of Bridford, there’s nought but the sound of birds and clang of church bells to disrupt you – even though the local pub is just down the road. If you’re seeking a bit of buzz, Exeter is a twenty-minute drive, but we think hiking boots are the best way to explore your locale in Dartmoor National Park. This home welcomes like a warm hug, with its cosy farmhouse kitchen, seat in front of the fire and view of fields and woodland.

About Exeter
Exeter is centred on its pretty Cathedral Close, whose manicured lawns are surrounded by charming historic buildings. Cafes spill out onto the green under the steeple of the towering Anglican cathedral, and in December, the courtyard lights up with Christmas market stalls.
