2 Bed Cottage in Monkokehampton

About this property

Nestling in idyllic North Devon farmland, this unique property provides the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life. The pretty villages of Winkleigh and Hatherleigh (3 & 4 miles) have some lovely shops, pubs and Grade I listed churches. Lying between Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, two worlds of superb moorland walks are easily accessible. Seek intoxicating delights at the Winkleigh Cider Company, imbibe the invigorating air and unwind within the tranquillity of nature.

This beautiful barn conversion stands proudly at the end of its own private drive. Inside, it exudes rustic charm and history with its exposed beams and stone pillars. A few steps ascend to the airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its comfortable sofas and garden views; the kitchen/diner has everything you need for delightful mealtimes, inside or al fresco amidst the green. After thrilling days of exploration, unwind in sleek shower rooms and sink into gorgeous bedrooms, to dream of adventures to come. On bright coffee mornings or sultry sunset nights, savour the far-reaching views of pastoral Devon in the enclosed, secluded garden.

In every direction, there's so much to discover and love. Trek with alpacas in Riddlecombe or join the Tarka trail in Meeth (both 7 miles). In Okehampton (12 miles), find haunted history at the Norman Castle and ancient echoes at the Museum of Dartmoor Life (both 12 miles). Discover extraordinary Castle Drogo (17 miles), or bask on the beach at beautiful Bude (29 miles) and Braunton (25 miles). The exquisite fishing village and time-capsule of Clovelly (32 miles) will remain with you forever. Exeter (22 miles) is another world of adventure, with its castle, gothic cathedral, quirky quay, twisting medieval streets and cornucopia of independent establishments. Eternal memories await.
