3 Bed Cottage in Widecombe-in-the-Moor

About this property

Tucked within the craggy landscape of Dartmoor National Park, Widecombe Longhouse is a traditional Devonshire property packed with personality and rustic charm. In this 15th century delight that’s ideal for large families, you’ll be transported back in time by original features such as white-washed walls, beamed ceilings and the beautiful stone exterior. With miles of woodland, wetland and rugged tors to discover, spend your days exploring to your heart's content before returning to the welcoming warmth of the crackling wood burner.

Accessed via a single-track road, the property is one of two rural retreats set in tranquil surroundings. Step inside to find a wonderfully quirky hallway leading off to the downstairs rooms, including the lounge with its flagstone floors, comfortable sofas and inglenook fireplace. Although modestly sized, the kitchen has everything needed to whip up delicious meals or a late evening snack. The dining room is an excellent spot for after dinner board games, featuring the stone staircase leading upstairs to three cosy bedrooms. The bathroom is also found upstairs, with a three-quarter sized bath. Outside, the enclosed garden is perfect for children and canine companions to let off some steam.

With Dartmoor literally on your doorstep, you’ll be spoilt for choice on places to explore on foot, by bike, or even on horseback. Nearby Widecombe is a perfect spot for an afternoon stroll with two pubs, cafes and craft shops just 2.5 miles away. For an unforgettable family day out, the resorts of Torquay and Paignton are 23 miles away. Known as the English Riviera, these port towns are famed for their pretty harbours and multiple attractions such as the Living Coasts Aquarium and Paignton Zoo.
