Harescombe Lodge is a well-presented contemporary lodge positioned on the outskirts of Morchard Bishop in Devon, within reach of both Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks.
Set within the Mid Devon countryside, the property enjoys far-reaching rural views and a setting on a working arable farm, making it a great choice for couples, small families and those travelling with a dog seeking a balance of outdoor activity and time away.
Located just beyond the village, which offers a local pub and a well-stocked shop, the lodge is arranged over two floors and designed to take full advantage of its surroundings.
A full-width balcony provides a vantage point across the fields, offering a pleasant place to spend time outdoors.
Dogs are welcome, with the added benefit of a private enclosed exercise paddock, giving pets space to move freely.
On arrival, off-road parking is available for up to three cars, and a side gate provides direct access into the garden, making returns from countryside walks straightforward.
Inside, an entrance hall leads to a ground-floor shower room, a useful laundry cupboard and a bright open-plan living space.
This area spans the full width of the lodge, with large sliding doors allowing plenty of natural light to enter and opening out onto the patio.
The outdoor space includes a lawned garden with seating and a covered hot tub, offering a place to sit out in the evenings.
The garden leads directly through to the enclosed dog paddock, extending the outdoor space available to guests.
The kitchen is equipped with a range of appliances suitable for a self-catered stay, including an electric oven, induction hob, fridge-freezer and dishwasher, while the adjoining dining area provides seating for four guests.
In the sitting area, a corner sofa bed allows for flexible sleeping arrangements if required.
Upstairs, the first floor is devoted to the main bedroom, featuring a king-size bed, a free-standing bath positioned to make the most of the countryside outlook, and access to the balcony overlooking the surrounding land.
A pub and a shop can be found close by.
Nearby Crediton offers Crediton Parish Church, Shobrooke Park and a selection of independent shops and cafés, while Exeter provides its cathedral, Underground Passages and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum.
Tiverton is also within reach, where you can explore Tiverton Castle, the Grand Western Canal and Knightshayes Court.
For outdoor activities, Exmoor National Park offers walking routes and wildlife, Dartmoor National Park features open moorland and cycling trails, and RHS Garden Rosemoor presents a variety of seasonal displays.
With its countryside outlook and convenient access to Devon’s towns, attractions and national parks, Harescombe Lodge is a well-positioned base for exploring the area.
