The Whole Property

Secluded in 4 acres, this beautiful Georgian former rectory makes the ideal big family get-together as it is set out as 4 separate spaces totalling 8 rooms:
There are 5 en-suite bedrooms in the main house, 1 ensuite bedroom apartment with living room/kitchen, 1 en-suite bedroom coach house, and the 1 en-suite bedroom shepherds hut. All these 4 areas are included in your booking and exclusive to your stay.

Surrounded by fields of sheep and cattle, with stream running through the garden, enclosed pond & summer house, tennis court, yoga barn, and games room.

Each space is self contained with en-suites, kitchen/kitchenettes and own entrances. Then get together for lunch on the terrace, or an evening feast in the dining room for 16!

The Main House:

5 bedrooms, dining room, sitting room, boot room, utility room, downstairs toilet, country kitchen, snug, dressing/changing room, traditional slate courtyard.

If you are particular about having great coffee, as we are, there is a Sage double boiler espresso machine with separate Sage grinder and fresh beans for your stay. A substantial Samsung American fridge/freezer (and separate drinks fridge, of course!) awaits stocking by supermarket delivery, which can be ordered for delivery as you arrive.

The country cooker is a traditional Sandyford oven and stove which warms the kitchen beautifully and provides additional cooking space, however there is a more functional fan assisted oven and 4 ring induction hob for every day meals.

The kitchen seats 8, perfect for pre-drinks whilst the nominated chef cooks and chats, followed by dinner in the dining room which sits a comfortable 16 with roaring open fire.

Retire to the sitting room thereafter, with log burner, or the snug/tv room for a film.

Additionally, there is also an office/study with printer, to escape and read a book, or catch up with a meeting or some emails while you're away.

Our house is a much loved family home with all the day to day creature comforts. When we're away, then it's available for you to stay, you'll find the available dates on the calendar.

If you love the grandeur of Georgian architecture, you'll appreciate the 3m high ceilings, huge sash windows all with original working shutters. Old servants bells still ring in the side entrance hall, and a large light dome above the main staircase. The house is Grade II listed, and whilst there are 40+ single glazed wooden windows, the house is kept warm with it's many heat sources of radiators, 4 working fireplaces and kitchen cooker.

Everyone has their own very relaxed space, yet with the large mingling and dining areas to socialise and have a great few days away chatting and getting back to nature.

Wood will be provided for BBQ's or fires/firepits.

Outside:
3 acres of garden includes hot tub with rolling countryside views, the two-story tithe barn with yoga/meditation studio above, and games room below fitted out with darts, table tennis and a pool table.
The summer house at the pond is perfect to escape and read a book, or just sit alongside the pond on the decking to appreciate the tranquility.
Perhaps a game of tennis on the tennis court, or visit Coco the donkey in the paddock (armed with carrots!), and our small flock of sheep.
Eggs always need collecting from the chickens if you're after an omelette or about to knock up a blue cheese souffle?

Explore Devon's rugged coastline! We're 300m due south from the edge of Exmoor. 10 minutes to Combe Martin beach, which is almost always calm, and ideal for kayaking or SUP'ing, which can be hired from 2 shops in the village if you don't have your own. Woolacombe is 20 minutes away, which is a top-notch location for surfing or bodyboarding, with fun sand dunes and a breathtaking 3 mile stretch of vast sandy beach. Walking routes are abundant around here, as the steep cliffs are only a short drive away, around Heddon's Mouth and Valley of Rocks. Horseriding, wakeboarding, and many other activities are available in the local area.
