About this property

This stone built semi-detached cottage is found in the heart of the village of Hartland, near the dramatic North West Devon coast. There are plenty of village amenities just a couple of minutes’ stroll from the front door, such as an independent village store, post office, doctors surgery, veterinary practice, craft shop, potteries, fish and chip shop, café and village pubs. The cottage is set back from the village street, and feels really secluded with its enclosed front and rear courtyard gardens and mature shrubs. Once inside there are stone fireplaces with woodburners, exposed beams and antique latches, all of which create a feeling of warmth, character, and charm. On the ground-floor there are two main reception rooms off the entrance hallway, and together they provide an ample space for families to spend some quality time together. The sitting room with woodburner is ideal for relaxing in the comfy sofas in front of the fire after an invigorating hike on the spectacular south west Coast Path past Hartland Quay. Choose to cook a hearty meal in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, with a dishwasher as an added benefit, so no squabbling over who is doing the washing-up! There are three sizeable bedrooms all with a contemporary feel, mixing some lovely antique pieces of furniture and rustic beams with colourful décor. Together they sleep up to six guests in the form of a super-king, double and twin sized bedrooms. The enclosed courtyard garden with comfy seating, accessed via French doors from the sitting room offers a peaceful area for some light reading. This unspoilt area of North Devon is known for its dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and selection of expansive sandy beaches such as Westward Ho! and Bude. Keen walkers can explore the area via the South West Coast Path and can use this to access the unique cobbled village of Clovelly, which truly is a step back in time. There are numerous excellent pubs serving local produce and ales, such as The Hart Inn and the Kings Arms in Hartland and The Farmers Arms in the nearby village of Woolsery. Other attractions and places of interest in the area include the market town of Bideford, offering an array of amenities and day trips to Lundy Island, The Big Sheep and The Milky Way adventure parks. 82 The Square is an ideal base from which to explore this beautiful part of Devon

The village of Hartland, whose parish includes the hamlet of Stoke to the west and the village of Meddon in the south, is the most northwesterly settlement in the county of Devon, England. The town of Hartland is remote and hosts many craft shops and potteries in addition to cafés and restaurants. There is a long main street, with cottages either side, leading to the town square and the church of St John. Enjoy views of the coastline in the British Isles from Hartland Point. There are many vantage points, accessible by car or on foot, from which you can admire views of the coast. Not far away is Hartland Quay, with much to see and available accommodation. A local Shipwreck Museum is certainly worth a visit.
