On the edge of wild and wonderful Dartmoor within the Dartmoor National Park.

Grade II listed partly thatched cottage, recently refurbished to a modern standard but in simpatico with its history, in a beautiful Devon village on the northern side of Dartmoor National Park. There is a leat (run off from the water mill at Finch Foundry) running through the front garden. Larger, formal garden at rear, across the river by private foot bridge to a further 2/3 acre within the property, with the river forming 70% of its boundary. We have had the wiring updated and there is an installation and portable appliance testing report certificates (dated 17/2/20) available on request. Entrance is through a solid door into the formal dining room (we have sat 20 comfortably, see photos). Revamped kitchen with large oven, slate countertops, and wooden shelves. Large back sitting room receives sun most of the day, and provides a delightful view of the back garden. Sitting room has a log burner, seating on chairs and sofa for 6, and an informal dining area that can seat 8. We have most of our meals there because of the view. 43in smart TV with an internet connection for your use. However, we are assuming you don't come here to watch TV. Sport shown at the Taw River Inn on a much larger screen. Upstairs are 3 double rooms: 2 rooms with 2 single beds each, all 6 ft x 3ft (feel free to make doubles), and a one room with a Queen sized double, 5ft x 6 1/2 ft, with a large bathroom and a larger than usual bath with a delightful view of the garden Outside close by is a separate toilet as well as a laundry room with washing machine and a dryer, and a large fridge, and another shower with a pump and its own heat. So we have 2 bathrooms, with the water independently heated for both. You can enjoy the formal garden with 1 table, and assorted chairs, and a couple of garden benches. Access to the moor is across the foot bridge leading from the formal garden (Pooh sticks anyone?) and through the field at the rear of the house. We have friends growing vegetables at the top of the field and you may be able to get some fresh produce from them. During the warmer weather we wade and sit in the river using the stone steps down to the river near the gate by the bridge . There are swimming holes further up the river closer to Belstone. Please note: we have central heating and the fire is a delight, and wood is provided to get you warm and snug. Guidance on lightning the fire will be provided. All linen is supplied and included in the rental fees.
