Court - Quattro Camere da Letto Casa, Ospiti Massimo 8

Harking all the way back to the 1300s, this Grade II-listed cottage offers bundles of character and all of the modern comforts that any group of eight guests could desire. It’s situated just 0.5 miles outside of the Devonshire village of Chittlehampton, a fabulous locale with a village shop and an excellent pub serving food. Verdant countryside surrounds both the village and the undisturbed property, and the River Taw is around 2 miles away with pretty waterfront views. Those searching for shopping, bars and restaurants will find solace in nearby Barnstaple (7.5 miles). This bustling town is within easy reach of so many destinations on the North Devon coast, including the ever-appealing Westward Ho! (15 miles), the twin villages of Appledore and Instow (13.5 miles) and the surfer’s paradise, Saunton Sands (17 miles).
Original panelling in dark, attractive wood, ancient beams and stone-flagged flooring have been lovingly maintained in this 700-year-old cottage. And yet, it’s been thoughtfully renovated and updated to feature so many modern amenities and contemporary-styled features. Make your way inside through the porch, where there’s space to store shoes and coats. Once indoors, you’ll first notice a ground-floor bedroom with a small, cosy, snug and an en-suite, an ideal retreat for two guests seeking a little privacy. Steps lead up to the kitchen, along the hallway, a fantastic space to entertain in, complete with a large dining table and a show-stopping central island. There’s also a utility room with additional facilities next door and a downstairs shower room. The lounge is an impressive room with ample comfortable seating and everything you’ll need for a movie night, and you’ll also find a second secret snug on a lower level that’s ideal for those who’d prefer a games night instead of a film or box set. Take care as you climb the curved, historic staircase up to the first floor to find the three remaining bedrooms. The largest is a fantastic super-king-size with a four-poster bed and an en-suite bathroom, complete with its very own freestanding bathtub. Equally as appealing, two twin rooms can also be found on this floor, each served by a refreshing and spacious family shower room. As if the interior wasn’t as impressive enough, the property enhanced further by its garden.
The outdoor space is made up of an acre of lawn that curves around the cottage. It’s accompanied by a cute patio spot, at the front of the property, furnished to allow for late-night evenings outdoors, and at the rear, a summerhouse with a cosy seating area. Grab your book and a drink and find some peace in the garden, enjoying Devonshire’s fresh country air. There is private parking for up to five cars.
