About this property
Westacombe Farmhouse is a detached, Grade-II listed, characterful holiday home set within the Dartmoor National Park. Set close to Clifford Bridge with its delightful walks and woodlands it offers a peaceful setting for families or groups of friends looking to enjoy a Devon break. Well-suited to group stays, the property benefits from flexible zip/link bedrooms and a variety of shared spaces designed for comfort and ease. Inside, the farmhouse-style kitchen is well equipped for preparing filling breakfasts or relaxed evening meals, with the adjoining dining room providing plenty of space to gather together and plan the day ahead. The main sitting room offers a comfortable place to settle in after a day out, and offers a smart TV for cosy evenings in.
From here you can climb up the steep stairs to the primary family bedroom, the stairs are not suitable for very young guests and those with limited mobility. The sleeping accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, comprising three inviting bedrooms. These include the primary bedroom, with a zip link superking, plus added single with trundle below, and a useful WC, and two further bedrooms both of which can be arranged as a twin or zipped together. One has an en-suite walk-in shower, the other has access to the jack and jill family bathroom. The two final bedrooms are accessed via a second standard (but steep) set stairs at the other end of the house.
The Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower completes the interior, along with a handy external cloakroom on the ground floor. Outside, guests can enjoy an enclosed front garden with a patio area and outdoor furniture, perfect for relaxed meals in the open air or enjoying a coffee while taking in the countryside views. Off-road parking is available for up to three cars, adding further convenience.
