The property

The Old Telephone Exchange is a distinctive countryside retreat in Mamhead near Cockwood, Devon.

Once a local telephone hub, this characterful property has been thoughtfully converted into a single-storey home with a quirky mezzanine, ideal for families or friends seeking a unique getaway.

Its elevated position offers sweeping views across fields towards Exmouth and Dawlish, while nearby National Trust woodland provides scenic walking routes.

Inside, a stable door leads to a compact kitchen with an electric hob, micro combi grill oven, and under-counter fridge, alongside a dining area and a welcoming sitting space with FreeSat TV and electric-effect fire.

French doors open to an enclosed wrap-around gravel patio, perfect for soaking up the countryside vistas.

Sleeping arrangements include a curtained double area and a mezzanine double accessed by ladder, plus two armchair beds for flexibility.

Please note: the mezzanine is unsuitable for young children or those with limited mobility.

Explore local vineyards, or venture to Teignmouth for its sandy beach and pier, Exeter for its cathedral and quayside, and Torquay for coastal paths and gardens.

This property promises a memorable Devon escape with charm and character.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

COCKWOOD

Teignmouth 6.8 miles; Exeter 10.4 miles; Exmouth 15.7 miles

A couple of miles north east of the town of Dawlish is Dawlish Warren, a mile-long sand spit at the mouth of the River Exe on the stretch of south Devon coastline known as the English Riviera. Dawlish Warren has a selection of shops selling essentials, a golf course and a 55-acre nature reserve, an area of international importance for wildlife, and a roosting site for huge numbers of wading birds and wildfowl that winter on the estuary. The Nature Reserve is also home to more than 450 species of flowering plants including the rare Warren or Sand Crocus. Guided tours around the Reserve are available in the summer season. The beach at Dawlish Warren is a sandy Blue Flag beach backed by sand dunes and small lakes and stretches for miles to reach the Exe Estuary in one direction and Dawlish town in the other. A safe beach, lifeguarded in summer, provides a perfect place for seaside fun, and has many free, open-air events, children's entertainers and spectacular firework and air displays during the summer season. Dawlish Warren has a railway station on the Exeter to Newton Abbot line, one of the most scenic railway journeys in the country. Nearby there is much to occupy the visitor along the English Riviera coastline including Paignton Zoo, the Dartmouth Steam Railway, the picturesque fishing harbour of Brixham and the long pier and promenade at Teignmouth. A typically English seaside resort, great for family holidays at any time of year.
