Situated in the picturesque village of Bishops Nympton, Devon, this charming cottage serves as an ideal retreat for those looking to escape into the countryside while having convenient access to the stunning Exmoor National Park. The property comfortably accommodates four guests and is within walking distance of a community shop and a children's play area, making it a perfect spot for families. Just a short drive away lies the market town of South Molton, known for its vibrant pannier market that operates twice a week, alongside a variety of supermarkets, cafes, and pubs that cater to diverse tastes.
Upon entering the cottage, visitors are welcomed into a cozy lounge/diner, which features a striking inglenook fireplace adorned with a slate hearth, a traditional bread oven, and a wood burner—ideal for those chilly evenings. The space is perfect for unwinding, whether it’s enjoying a good book or watching a favorite film on the TV/DVD. The lounge flows seamlessly into a well-equipped kitchen that includes modern amenities such as an electric hob and oven, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer, ensuring that all culinary needs are met.
Accessed via a quaint cottage-style staircase, the upper level houses two inviting bedrooms: a main bedroom with a king-size bed and a charming fireplace, as well as a twin bedroom. A bathroom equipped with a shower over bath and WC completes the upstairs layout. Guests should exercise caution when descending the stairs due to the lower ceiling height at the bottom, but the cozy atmosphere of the cottage makes the experience enjoyable and memorable.
Outside, the property features a small paved courtyard that serves as a sun trap during warmer months, perfect for al fresco dining or simply relaxing with a refreshing drink. Additionally, a converted building at the rear of the property offers a snug second lounge area, complete with its own wood burner, alongside a convenient washing machine and tumble dryer. Ample roadside parking is available around the village, ensuring easy access for guests, with plenty of options just a short walk from the cottage.
