Tales Of The Riverbank

Tales Of The Riverbank: Devon

A timber-framed roof, wood-burning stove and stable door created the ultimate country idyll here in the Little Dart River Valley. Slate floors downstairs and hardwood floors upstairs have a traditional feel, and the wood-burner sits in an exposed brick feature wall. Just outside the cottage, you’ll find a patio with a little seating area, and a shared walled garden beyond that where a barbecue area awaits. The expansive grounds surrounding the cottage are a fisher’s paradise with the Dart River for fly fishing and a stocked Course lake. You’re in the heart of the countryside here, meaning pure peace and quiet, but if you do seek a little civilisation the pretty Saxon town of Chulmleigh sits on a hilltop a mile away.

Home truths:
*The downstairs bedrooms both have zip-and-link beds, so can be set up as king-size or two twins
*The cottage comes with two allocated parking spaces
*A security camera is in operation outside the home
*The nearest town is a mile away, which is walkable but a car is recommended to make the most of the area
