Peaceful Cottage in Rural North Devon, near the Ocean
The Shippen is a cosy but very spacious detached barn conversion in a peaceful rural location near the pretty village of Hartland, and within easy reach of the sea. The coastal scenery is stunning at nearby Hartland Quay, and the South West Coast Path is easily accessible. The cottage is down a private lane away from the main road, within the grounds of a smallholding. This is an ideal area for sea swimmers, surfers, walkers, nature lovers or anyone who just wants have a relaxing break. There are 2 spacious bedrooms, one on the ground floor and one upstairs each with their own bathroom. There is a fifth bed suitable for a child or teenager in the upstairs lobby. There is a large open plan living/dining room with a wood burner, and a conservatory which leads out on to the lawn and patio and has views over fields and through woodland. The wood burner and underfloor heating mean the accommodation is ideal for any time of year. Well behaved dogs are welcome but the garden is not enclosed so may not suit all dogs.
