Fig Tree Cottage

About this property

Bickleigh 1 mile. Figtree cottage is situated on the steep slopes overlooking the stunning Exe valley in Mid Devon. A wooden construction by Swedish experts, this detached Devon cottage sits on the site of an old sheep shearing shed. The cottage is in a peaceful rural location, a mile from the noted beauty spot of Bickleigh. Local wildlife can often be seen in the area such as deer, hawks and buzzard, plus sheep and cattle in the fields next door to the cottage.On the grounds of the owners' house, Fig tree cottage has its own private driveway, with far-reaching, stunning, countryside views and spacious rooms, ideal for a family looking to enjoy a cottage holiday in Devon. There is a sitting room with lovely oak floor, warming wood-burning stove and large TV with surround sound. The kitchen/dining room is a bright, sunny room overlooking the picturesque garden. In this Devon cottage, there are also four large, beautifully furnished bedrooms, one en-suite, with two further bathrooms situated over the ground and first floors, for convenience. The large, private garden at your Devon cottage is a perfect place to enjoy the panoramic views on a summer's day. The garden is west-facing and during the summer months the sunsets are breath-taking. Even in peak summertime this part of Mid Devon is tranquil and quiet. A walk up the lane reveals a different, but equally stunning, view from every gateway. Just one mile down the lane from the cottage, is Bickleigh Mill, a historic water mill, café and gift shop, where you can spend the day dining alfresco by the River Exe. The cottage is situated within easy driving distance of both Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks.

The cottage is midway between Devon’s north and south coastlines, convenient for a day out to either.

The lovely Devonshire village of Bickleigh is located in a riverside location within the Exe Valley.
