About this property
This attractive, homely barn conversion is situated within its own enclosed gardens, on the owner's 19-acre working livestock farm on the outskirts of Bow, a small village near Crediton, in the heart of Devon. Nestled amidst superb farmland, with feature beams and wooden flooring, this cosy cottage near Crediton provides the perfect country getaway for families and small groups of friends exploring Devon. This Devon cottage offers a delightful king-size double room, a pretty twin room and a shower room. Prepare delicious home-cooked meals in the spacious, well-equipped kitchen before sitting down around the dining table to discuss tomorrows adventures. Retire to the cosy sitting room, housing a warming woodburning stove and unwind with a film or a family game night. Outside, an enclosed garden boasts beautiful rural views of the surrounding countryside, while acres of fields make a wonderful playground for children to run around freely and safely. Ask the friendly farm owners about on-site fly fishing, pick your own home-grown vegetables and collect fresh eggs from the farm gardens. There are plenty of walking opportunities along pretty Devon lanes spanning this luscious region, while the Dartmoor National Park provides fun-filled activities, such as pony riding, tor bagging, letterboxing and exploring miles of rugged, open space. The north and south Devon coastlines are only a short drive from this Crediton cottage, while the cathedral city of Exeter offers the opportunity for a bit of retail therapy and boasts a variety of bars, restaurants and cafés. A fabulous, well-presented cottage in the heart of Devon, providing a taste of rural, country living.
A busy market town 8.5 miles north west of the cathedral city of Exeter, and situated in an area of Devon known as “Red Devon” so called because of the distinctive red soil which is of prime agricultural quality, and excellent for growing swedes. This is a rural area of Devon which is tranquil, unspoilt and where ruby cattle are seen grazing amongst the rolling green meadows. There are many scattered villages with welcoming inns, well stocked farm shops and friendly locals. Crediton has a wide range of shops selling gifts and groceries, a fabulous farmers’ market, modern leisure centre and plenty of family friendly pubs. Crediton is less than 10 miles from Dartmoor National Park which provides excellent walking and horse riding opportunities and a half hour drive from the beautiful city of Exeter where there are theatres, stunning cathedral, shopping malls, and historic quay with waterfront cafes, antique shops and bars.
