About this property
Set in beautiful and tranquil countryside, this delightful cottage is the perfect bolthole for a romantic retreat. Located just outside the small rural village of Hittisleigh and tucked away along a private driveway, shared only with the owners and their other holiday cottage, the cottage is in a peaceful setting and surrounded by beautiful countryside. A short drive away is the historic city of Exeter with its famous Gothic cathedral, fine art museum, and the unique underground passages which wind under the city and can be accessed by a guided tour. There are also many cafes, restaurants, bars and shops to explore for a day out in the city. A new train route from nearby Okehampton to Exeter offers an alternative stress free way of travelling to experience all that Exeter has to offer. For those looking for adventure during their stay, discover Dartmoor just a 15 minute drive away, which is renowned for its changing landscape, stunning views, deep wooded valleys with fast flowing rivers and rugged, wide-open spaces. If golf is more your pursuit, the local golf course is only a 25-minute drive away. Enjoy indoor activities at Crediton Leisure Centre which offers a swimming pool and gym.
The property can be accessed either via external stone steps leading to the first floor, or there is an external door from the garden leading into the ground floor. Upon entering this character cottage via the external steps, you will find yourself in the open-plan living and dining room, located on the first floor. This spacious area features a comfortable sofa for putting your feet up after exploring the local area, made even better with the Smart TV to catch up with your favourite shows. The cosy kitchen area is also located on this floor and comprises all you will need for your break away, with an electric oven and hob, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and microwave. Heading down the spiral staircase will bring you to the ground floor hallway, leading to the comfortable king-size bedroom.
