Deep in the Countryside

Holiday Rental Description

If you're looking for a home with plenty of history then you've come to the right place. This farmhouse was first mentioned in the Domesday Book, and is now a Grade-II listed building packed with plenty of period features. Push open the thick oak front door, and you'll find plenty of wooden beams, original crooked walls, with open fireplaces and wood-burning stoves in all of the reception rooms. The kitchen is a magnificent place to cook, with a gas-fired range and spectacular high ceiling. You'll also love flicking through the library of books and settling down in an armchair to read in perfect peace. If the weather is good, then you're spoilt with twenty-one acres of land to roam, complete with your very own pond and stream. The outdoor entertaining area is perfect for alfresco meals as you gaze out across the south-facing garden and drink in the magnificent views. Walkers will be happy to know that a public footpath goes right by the garden, so it couldn't be easier to set out on a hike from here. And, despite the rural location, there's plenty to do close by. The local pub is just a mile away if you're in need of refreshment, and Woolacombe Beach is fifteen minutes away by car, where you can breathe in the fresh sea air. And, with Exmoor National Park, Lee Bay, and Croyde all within a twenty to thirty-minute drive, you'll love exploring this lovely corner of Devon.
