About this home

This delightful cottage is located off the beaten track but within easy reach of the friendly village of Chagford on the fringes of rugged Dartmoor.

Bursting with character and sensitively restored to the highest possible standards, this home is an idyllic and serene haven for self-catering family-friendly breaks, romantic escapes or an uninterrupted writers’ retreat.

Enter the front porch – a great space to leave your wellies – and you’re straight in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, decorated in tasteful greys with comfy rugs underfoot.

There’s a real sense of home – imagine padding downstairs in the morning to cosy up by the Rayburn while you make your coffee. This is complemented by an electric oven, induction hob and washer-dryer.

A large table makes for fabulous cosy suppers during cooler winter months. A handy utility corner houses a microwave and huge American-style fridge-freezer – great for storing your plunder from Chagford’s delis.

The kitchen conveniently leads to the rest of the ground floor. Comfort-chic is the name of the game in the atmospheric living room, which has plenty of seating for eight.

The sleeping arrangements are:
The master bedroom comes with a king size bed and en-suite bathroom.
Bedroom two comes with a double bed.
Bedroom three also comes with a double bed.
Bedroom four comes with a single bed.

There is a family bathroom with walk in shower.

Plenty of private parking, a sweeping gravel double-entrance horseshoe drive provides plenty of parking for up to six cars.
