Lake View blends rustic living with a range of modern comforts to inspire you to slow down and relish time with your loved ones. Set in 32 acres of landscaped grounds, the farmhouse is restored in a spectacular country manor style. Think exposed beams, charming inglenooks and log fires – it’s a picturesque dream in the English countryside. Leave the worries of the modern world behind as you take in the lakes, streams, and bluebell woods; and say hello to resident koi carp, mallard ducks, pigs and sheep. For those seeking action, a wide selection of golf clubs, walking routes and bridleways are close by. Back at the farmhouse, it’s time to take afternoon tea in the sumptuous drawing room or cosy up in front of the wood-burning stove in the library. This is a home that’s made to entertain. The dining room, which was once an old dairy and bakery, offers a classic dinner party ambience to celebrate special occasions, while the outdoor terrace is just the spot for summer barbecues.

Local guide


About Devon

With its vibrant cities, wild moors and picture-perfect beaches – we can see why so many poets and writers, such as Ted Hughes, Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, have been inspired by its stunning landscapes. Chic waterside towns such as Salcombe and Dartmouth appeal to yachties, while Totnes attracts a more alternative crowd. Or head to Exeter with its cathedral and riverside bars and restaurants on the picturesque quay....
