About this property
100 yards down a private drive a mile from South Zeal, in a sheltered rural spot behind the owners’ house, a beautiful architect-converted cottage with long views over rolling countryside. To the front, landscaped garden with tables/chairs positioned for the views. Lawn slopes away to woodland and a nature haven with pond (partly fenced). You are welcome to wander the surrounding meadows. Inside, tremendously spacious and stylish. From the small cobbled courtyard, step up into kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, fridge-freezer, combi double electric oven/microwave, induction hob) with granite worktops and space for boots/coats. Step up to large open-plan living/dining room with woodburner, TV/DVD and French windows to garden. Downstairs loo. Stairs up to three double bedrooms, all with private views across the valley - two with 6’ zip-linked beds or twin, and one with 5’ bed. Two smart bathrooms (suites plus hand-showers and separate large shower cubicles). A beautiful private place, a blissful retreat on the edge of the moor.
