Cottage in Winkleigh, Mid Devon, England
Cosy Grade 2 Listed Thatched Cottage
Old World Charm Within Picturesque Devon Village
Sleeps 3 adults or 2 adults/2 children
|
|
The cottage is a grade 2 listed mid-terraced thatched house in the beautiful and historic village of Winkleigh. It has retained much of its old world charm and character with features including original ceiling beams and a superb stone inglenook fireplace. From the front door can be seen Dartmoor, approximately ten miles away with the rear of the property abutting the church yard of Winkleighs impressive 15 th century church. The sitting room (approx 16 feet by 14 feet) is heated by a wood burning stove and to the left of its fireplace, a curved staircase leads to the two upstairs bedrooms (one double/one single). In two raised levels to the rear of the living room are the dining area and recently fitted kitchen and bathroom with an electric shower. A decked courtyard garden off the kitchen is an ideal place to enjoy some alfresco dining with the chiming of the church clock the only likely accompaniment in this tranquil and historic Devon village.

Bude on the Cornish coast is approximately 45 mins by car, as is Westward HO! in North Devon. Croyde and Woolacombe (just north of Barnstaple) are a similar distance.
The coastal path that runs all the way around Devon and Cornwall is closest at 'Green Cliff' or 'Clovelly', both close to Bideford and about 45 mins by car.
South Devon, South Dorset and many South Cornish beaches are between 1hr10 to 2hr10 away.
Golf
There are many golf courses in Devon and the surrounding vicinity!
Skiing
I regret to announce that due to a lack of snow the Devon skiing industry went into receivership earlier this year.
