Nestled on the outskirts of Okehampton, this home promises a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Full of 18th-century charm, it’s a cosy place to call home and offers plenty of space for up to ten people to spread out. The sunroom is an added bonus, serving as a second living room, perfect for those travelling with children who want their own space. And with Dartmoor National Park and Lydford Gorge nearby, and the beaches of Teignmouth, Dawlish, and Exmouth within an hour’s drive, this is an ideal base for those who love the great outdoors as much as we do.
