Hatherleigh, located in the picturesque South West of England, is an ancient market town celebrated for its charm and tranquil rural surroundings. Known as a hidden gem in Devon, this quaint town features cob and thatch cottages, providing a serene atmosphere where the night sky is filled with stars. Among its local amenities, Church View Cottage stands out, nestled next to an ancient church at the corner of the market square. This delightful accommodation can host up to eight guests, making it perfect for families or groups looking to escape into the countryside.
The main cottage comprises two bedrooms, accommodating five guests, while an additional separate barn can sleep three more, situated just a short distance across the courtyard. Upon entering the main cottage, visitors are greeted by a welcoming hallway that leads to a cozy sitting room, complete with a large inglenook fireplace and a wood-burning stove. Comfortable seating invites relaxation, whether it's enjoying a board game or watching television. A step up from the sitting room leads into an attractive dining room with a garden-facing glazed door, followed by a spacious, well-equipped kitchen featuring a Falcon range cooker, high ceilings, and charming beams.
On the first floor, the master bedroom boasts a king-size bed along with a chair and a folding sofa bed, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable double bed with a single bunk above. A well-appointed family bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, adds to the convenience of the accommodation. The separate barn enhances the property with its own small kitchen and dining area, alongside a ground floor shower room. The upper level of the barn features an open-plan layout with a sitting area and two beds, providing additional space for guests to unwind.
Outside, the cottage is complemented by an enclosed courtyard garden, adorned with a beautiful magnolia tree and ample garden furniture, creating an inviting space for outdoor dining and relaxation. Guests at Church View Cottage are ideally positioned to explore the stunning Devon countryside, including the expansive Hatherleigh Moor—a 400-acre common offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and the distant tors of Dartmoor. This idyllic setting makes Church View Cottage not only a comfortable retreat but also a gateway to the natural beauty of the region.
