About this property
2 bedroom accommodation in Ilsington, near Newton Abbot
This beautiful cottage enjoys a rural setting on the owner’s working farm, where you can cycle, walk or ride for miles, admiring the unspoilt scenery.. Ground Floor:
Living room: Freeview TV, Woodburner
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Oven, Induction Hob, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer, Washing Machine
Separate Toilet.
First Floor:
Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
Bathroom: Bath, Walk-In Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Oil central heating (underfloor in bathroom), electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate. Patio with garden furniture. 1 small dog welcome. Stabling and grazing for horses available (at cost). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: The property has a natural water supply from a spring.. Situated in the heart of Dartmoor National Park on the owner’s beef farm, this semi-detached cottage has been decorated and furnished to a good standard in 2019 and still retains some of its original features. There is a private walkway up to Bagtor which has the most stunning view across rolling Devon Hills over Dartmoor, and you can see for miles. Stabling is available for horses at an extra cost, and straw and hay are available. This is a perfect opportunity to be able to ride on Dartmoor on private land, on a no-vehicle track, where you might encounter some of the Dartmoor ponies that wander freely all over the moor. Off road cycling is perfect here, and the walks, which start right from the front door are just amazing.
The farm has a lot of character, and you can often see the cows out in the fields; on some occasions there will be calves frolicking about too! This is a quiet part of Devon, and you will be able to discover Dartmoor and all it has to offer. There are many visitor attractions not far from the property. Exeter, with its Crealy Theme Park & Resort, is ideal for a family day out and is only 30 minutes away by car. Visit Plymouth and take a trip to the Aquarium, only 40 minutes away by car. There are also many National Trust properties close by. Beach 15 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.
Please note: There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property.
