Upon entry, you'll be greeted by a spacious open-plan area encompassing the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Here, comfortable sofas encircle a cosy inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove, creating the perfect setting for relaxation after a day of exploring Exmoor or the North Devon coast. The ground floor also boasts a sizable dining table, ideal for family meals and planning your next adventures.
Venturing upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms, each complete with modern ensuite bathrooms. "Luscombe Pine," the master bedroom, boasts a grand four-poster bed and antique furniture. Its ensuite bathroom is thoughtfully designed with both a shower and a bath. The second double bedroom, "Billy Down Pippin," located just across the hall, features a vaulted ceiling and an eclectic mix of colonial furniture. Both rooms are designed for your utmost comfort and relaxation, whether you've spent the day at the beach or exploring the national parks.
Outside, a delightful garden area and patio offer an idyllic spot for alfresco dining during the warmer seasons. The extensive 20-acre grounds of the farm include a large pond, open fields, woodlands, and rolling hills, providing ample opportunities for exploration. In the evenings, you can unwind with a glass of wine and soak in the sunset over the picturesque hills.
