About this property

Period Property in Idyllic Rural Devon Countryside close to Dartmoor, Sleeps 10

The farmhouse is situated in the picturesque rural Devon countryside, enclosed with tranquil rolling hills and offering stunning walks both on the property and as an ideal base to explore the surrounding area. Approached via a long drive, the period property is situated in an elevated position within a working sheep farm with over 180 acres of pasture. The former farmhouse sleeps up to 10 people in five bedrooms with two separate bathrooms & 1 en-suite and is the perfect base for a relaxing holiday with family & friends.

There is a large modern kitchen-diner with expansive range cooker and adjoining utility area, as well as two reception rooms.

Outside of the property is a private garden area with bench seating and separate patio area. The farmhouse is situated in an elevated position with great views of Exeter city at night, Dartmoor and the Teign Valley. Walking is a must with tons of birds and local wildlife to spot during your visit, don’t forget to bring your wellies in the winter! We have walking trails across 180 acres of farm & woodland. Dogs are accepted by prior arrangement.

The farmhouse makes for a wonderful group stay with a relaxed family friendly feel.

Please note that as a sheep farm, we have two female working Collies who live on the farm and they will probably pop by to say hello and try win you over for a game of fetch.

Family Christmas
The house was perfect for our extended family. The bedrooms were well presented and the kitchen was good although using the range stove took some working out. Both reception rooms were very comfortable and all said it was a very enjoyable stay.

Wonderful stay at Down House!
We had a lovely week staying at Down House with family. Barbara and Jeremy were such welcoming hosts and were only too happy to chat to us about their life on the farm. We even got to bottle feed some of the lambs, which was very special! Exeter was a 20 minute drive away which was perfect as we were there for my son’s graduation ceremony from the university there. It was the perfect house for our family holiday and I hope we go back there again sometime!
