This 500-year-old cottage is the perfect home for a big group seeking countryside comforts. With its whitewashed walls, secluded reading corners, and log burners, it’s the perfect place to retreat to in the cooler months. Despite the original features, the cottage is super chic and modern on the inside. With velvet chairs in muted tones, a bar, and sleek bathrooms with a gorgeous freestanding tub, the home is a bit of luxury in beautiful green surroundings. Come summertime, the garden transforms into an idyllic spot where you can while away the hours and observe the region’s rolling hills. Sitting on the edge of Dartmoor National Park and just a 20-minute drive into the vibrant city centre of Exeter, you'll have lots to do if you can bear to leave this dreamy period home.

About Exeter

Exeter is centred on its pretty Cathedral Close, whose manicured lawns are surrounded by charming historic buildings.
