Nestled in Halwell, Devon, within the picturesque South West of England, Oak Tree is an appealing cottage that accommodates up to four guests. This inviting retreat is one of two cottages converted from a historic 17th-century farmhouse on Bickleigh Farm. Guests have access to a range of amenities, including a splendid indoor swimming pool, a games room, a play area for children, and expansive grounds to explore, making it an ideal getaway for families or friends seeking relaxation and recreation.
The interior of Oak Tree features a cozy sitting room adorned with traditional beams, a woodburning stove, and a television, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. On sunny days, the adjoining conservatory provides a serene space to enjoy a good book while soaking in the natural light. The well-equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing family meals, which can be enjoyed together at the dining table, fostering a sense of togetherness during mealtime.
For a restful night's sleep, guests can retreat to the two bedrooms located upstairs. The master bedroom boasts a romantic four-poster bed, while both rooms offer picturesque valley views, enhancing the tranquil ambiance of the cottage. Outside, a private seating area equipped with outdoor furniture and a barbecue invites guests to enjoy alfresco dining amidst the beautiful surroundings, making it an excellent spot for evening gatherings under the stars.
Oak Tree also features an optional interconnecting door to the neighboring East Bickleigh cottage, allowing for larger groups or two families to share the space while maintaining their privacy. With a combined capacity of 12 guests when booked together, this arrangement provides ample accommodation for family reunions or group vacations. Additionally, the property is situated alongside other cottages on the farm, including The Roundhouse, The Hay Barn, and Swallows Reach, enhancing the sense of community while still offering individual retreats.
