About this property
… a mile from Wilmington, hidden in flower-filled lanes, two semi-detached, single-storey cottages converted from barns across the lane from the friendly owners’ farmhouse. You are welcome to walk the 10 acres of surrounding heath and woodland and enjoy the wildlife (excellent birdwatching). Walks are cut through the organic wildflower meadows (picnic tables) and ancient cider orchard, and a footpath meanders beside the river to Cotleigh. The cottages are smart and modern with high ceilings and Velux windows, some original beams and oak floors. Each has a suntrap deck behind for enjoying peaceful valley views and soothing birdsong. Below (8 steps down), a shared lawn (barbecues). At the front, shared gravelled parking area, laundry (washing machine, tumble drier) and barn, useful for your bicycles/beach gear etc. Smart, comfortable cottages in a peaceful, picturesque location, much enjoyed by birdwatchers.
1 Shippen Cottages (see arrow 1): porch for coats/boots; stable doors into roomy and light open-plan living/dining/fitted kitchen (slimline dishwasher, microwave) with leather sofa and chair, TV/DVD and French windows to deck (table/chairs).

"The cottage was fitted out to a very high standard and was very comfortable to stay in. The owners were very welcoming and gave any advice we needed. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again because it was so peaceful with lovely birdlife and wildflower meadows nearby."
