Peak cottage appeal awaits at this thatched home set within the rolling Devon countryside. While the wonky lime-washed walls, narrow staircase, and rustic kitchen built into the former stables are impressive, it’s not overly accessible or toddler friendly. But we think it only adds to the charm. Outside, the grounds are vast, with an enclosed garden and orchard, an alfresco dining deck, and the use of a paddock. There’s also the adjoining shared barn with table tennis if the weather plays up. Location-wise, you’re just a twenty-minute drive to the seaside town of Lyme Regis, and the foodie haven, River Cottage, is even closer.

About East Devon
The East Devon AONB has a rugged beauty all of its own, with canary-yellow gorse trees peppering its hills and rolling green fields punctuated only by the occasional country house. And then, of course, along the southern edge lies the sea, which crashes against the coast for miles, creating curving, white-sand bays beneath towering green cliffs. Take the coastal path the entire length of the shore, and you’ll come across...
