The Farmhouse

About this property

Moretonhampstead 2.2 miles. Situated in North Bovey, near the charming town of Moretonhampstead in Devon, is this characterful three-bedroom cottage: The Farmhouse boasting original beamed ceilings, flagstone flooring, and several living areas. Set with 40 acres of grounds at Bowden Farm, the property is the perfect base for a family of six, looking to explore Dartmoor National Park. Prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, before travelling through to the suntrap living/dining room, featuring a woodburning stove, a glass ceiling, and rolling views out to the countryside. For some peace and quiet, choose between the formal sitting room or the snug, or perhaps head upstairs to tie up some loose ends in the study. Enjoy your tranquil base by heading outside, offering far-reaching views across Devon, before retreating to three well-presented bedrooms, each with en-suites, ample storage, and charming interiors; you'll find a king-size, a double, and a twin (a zip and link bed which can be set up as a super-king on request). Once you've enjoyed the grounds, venture into Moretonhampstead, where you'll find a range of shops, pubs, and an open-air swimming pool (seasonal opening times), along with many countryside walks. In the area you'll find Bennett's Cross, The Miniature Pony Centre, and Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park, all nature-filled attractions. Within the national park, you'll also have the chance to climb up to Hound Tor Rocks and stroll beyond the flowing waters of Canonteign Falls, before trailing up High Willhays, standing at 621 metres. Travelling to Tavistock, stop off at the local museum, or opt for a cycle around Tamar Trails Centre, before visiting Exeter, where you can discover Northernhay Gardens and tour the popular Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, a world-class exhibition. Holiday in Devon with The Farmhouse as your base. Note: This property can be booked with Bowden Barn Ref: 1112802, together sleeping up to 14 guests.
