About this property
This detached cottage converted from an old milking parlour is situated amongst farmland in Sampford Courtenay. With a charming garden, this is a calming cottage for a relaxing break to recharge your batteries. Head on in to the open plan living area, all big, bright and beautiful, where you can watch TV, sit back and gaze over the garden or open the doors to the sunny patio on a fine day. You have a handy bedroom on the ground floor, or take the stairs from the sitting area up to the gallery, a quiet area to read or play board games, then through to a twin bedroom which is made private from the sitting area below with a curtain.
All around the cottage are lovely gardens, well tended and a special place to wander and spot a wide range of plants and wildlife around the ponds and brook. Stroll beyond to the good village inn, just ¼ mile along a lane, to enjoy an excellent menu, or the bustling town of Okehampton offers a choice of eateries as well as a cinema and leisure centre. You can coarse fish nearby or head to Dartmoor for excellent walking or off road cycling. With its central location, The Old Parlour is a brilliant place for soaking up the peace or touring the countryside and coast of Devon.
Sampford Courtenay, a sleepy but picturesque Devon village, and Okehampton, a thriving community known as ‘the gateway to the moor'. The whole area is a country lover's dream. The high tors of northern Dartmoor dominate the scenery and provide a splendid backdrop to nearby Okehampton

We will definately be back! (this is a fab property but it would be clearer to note that the second bedroom is difficult for adults sharing, children or those who have difficulty with stairs)

Large cottage, well equipt, spaceous open plan & in superb condition throughout. Very tastfully presented with lovely fitted kitchen units & floor to ceiling wardrobes.The outside grounds were unbelievable. Acres of enclosed secure woodland. Paths leading off to themed areas, ponds, speciality plants & shrubs, enclosed areas of mature trees & bushes. Our dog was in his ellement exploring and running around with "Lombok" Andrew the owners pet collie. The entire estate is a reflection of Andrews hard work & attention to detail. Dont think we have ever been to somewhere remotely like this & probably not likely to find anywhere similar so we will be going back, Soon. Thankyou for an unbelievable experience
