Ideal for families and friends seeking a rural escape, this four-bedroom retreat blends character and comfort, featuring an AGA, wooden flooring throughout, and breathtaking countryside views, all while welcoming pets.

Arrive and park with ease before stepping into the tiled utility room, the perfect place to shed boots and coats after a day exploring.

Continue into the kitchen, where cool tiles meet the warmth of an AGA and electric oven, and pause at the central island to admire sweeping views as you prepare a hearty meal.

The dining room invites you to gather around a generous table for laughter-filled suppers, while the large sitting room offers wooden floors, a sofa positioned to soak up the scenery through wide windows, and a TV for relaxed evenings.

For rustic charm, retreat to the snug with its rugged stone walls, or climb to the mezzanine study for a quiet moment with a book.

Upstairs, three king-size rooms and a flexible king-size zip/link promise restful nights, with the en-suite stealing the show thanks to a sparkling chandelier above a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower, elegant wooden flooring, and even a TV and sofa for indulgent relaxation.

A second bathroom with both a bath and walk-in shower ensures convenience for all.

Outside, savour the fresh country air at the picnic bench and admire uninterrupted views across the hills.

Nearby, a local shop and welcoming pub await, while Colyton offers independent shops and eateries for a taste of Devon life.

Beyond your doorstep, the Blackdown Hills tempt with tranquil trails and panoramic viewpoints, Seaton promises coastal charm with its shingle beach, Jurassic Centre and scenic tramway, and Lyme Regis enchants with its historic harbour, fossil-rich shores and boutique-lined streets.

For heritage and culture, Exeter beckons with its magnificent cathedral, cobbled lanes and the fascinating Royal Albert Memorial Museum, ensuring every day at Higher Wadden Farm is filled with discovery and delight.
