3-Bedroom Countryside Cottage Close to North Devon's Beaches and Exmoor, with onsite games room

The beautiful three bedroom Ford Hill Cottage in Kentisbury, North Devon is the perfect setting for a memorable holiday with friends or family. Located within a few miles of the nearby village of Combe Martin, the cottage is only a short drive from a beach and Exmoor. It also comes with the added bonus of a large, private games room.

Recently decorated to a high standard, the cottage effortlessly combines period charm and character with elegant style and sophistication.

Downstairs hints of red conjure a warm and cosy atmosphere for relaxing. The cottage is mainly open plan with a charming lounge at the centre and featuring a large sofa and two armchairs plus a large flat-screen TV and a cosy wood burner. The kitchen is to one side of the lounge, with a useful island with granite top and a handy drainage sink separating the two rooms. The kitchen has been completely refurbished and is beautifully decorated in soft pastel shades and wood flooring. It is very well equipped with a Rangemaster cooker, a coffee machine, a fridge/fridge, a washing machine and a dishwasher. At the other end of the lounge is the dining room, which is in a separate room and has a pine table and chairs for 6 people.

Upstairs are the three bedrooms where tones of blue and green are wonderfully calming for creating the perfect night's sleep. There is a large en-suite double bedroom, a further double with countryside views and a pretty with two full size single beds. The family bathroom is also on this floor and has a bath wc and sink.

Ford Hill is more than 350 years old and enjoys a lovely rural setting with a large garden to the rear and far reaching countryside views. There is a lovely patio with table and chairs and a BBQ ideal for al fresco dining, as well as a smaller, pretty patio area to the front of the house with table and chairs.

To the side of the cottage in the former garage, the cottage has its own fully-heated games room complete with wide-screen TV, table football, pool table, sofa and bean bags, the perfect place for the children to play for hours.

Like many beautiful old cottages Ford Hill Cottage is arranged over a number of levels and has a steep staircase so is not considered suitable for toddlers or those with mobility limitations.

Ideal for families and friends the cottage is within walking distance of the village service station and shop. Michael Caines' restaurant at Kentisbury Grange is also only a mile away and great for celebrating a special occasion. Many other pubs, restaurants, shops and attractions are also within easy reach, and Woolacombe, Saunton and Croyde are less than a 20-minute drive, where families can spend the days surfing and swimming in safety as all the beaches have lifeguards. For the children, Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park and Exmoor Zoo are 10 minutes away.
