On the ground floor, the sitting room is centred around a woodburning stove, creating a warm and inviting space to gather after days spent out and about. The kitchen/diner provides ample room for preparing meals and sitting down together, making it easy to enjoy unhurried breakfasts or evening suppers. A ground‑floor cloakroom adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements, comprising two doubles and a single, all served by a family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over, basin and WC. Each bedroom provides a simple and restful place to unwind at the end of the day. Outside, Upper Frogpool Cottage benefits from an enclosed rear lawn with furniture, offering a pleasant space to enjoy time outdoors during warmer months. Off‑road parking for one car is available. Local amenities are reached by car, while Exeter provides a wider selection of shops, historic streets and places to eat. With its rural setting and straightforward layout, Upper Frogpool Cottage offers a reliable base for discovering this part of Devon.
A busy market town 8.5 miles north west of the cathedral city of Exeter, and situated in an area of Devon known as “Red Devon” so called because of the distinctive red soil which is of prime agricultural quality, and excellent for growing swedes. This is a rural area of Devon which is tranquil, unspoilt and where ruby cattle are seen grazing amongst the rolling green meadows. There are many scattered villages with welcoming inns, well stocked farm shops and friendly locals. Crediton has a wide range of shops selling gifts and groceries, a fabulous farmers’ market, modern leisure centre and plenty of family friendly pubs. Crediton is less than 10 miles from Dartmoor National Park which provides excellent walking and horse riding opportunities and a half hour drive from the beautiful city of Exeter where there are theatres, stunning cathedral, shopping malls, and historic quay with waterfront cafes, antique shops and bars.
