Living

The long and elegant living area is split into three sections, all strung together with retro light fixtures and a melange of gold, dusky pinks and opulent blue hues and soft oak flooring. At one end is the cosy snug, tranquil and beautiful, with two sofas and an armchair plus a gorgeous ornamental fireplace with roaring Chesney wood burner - perfect for reminiscing and storytelling with friends and families over a bottle of wine.

We just love the wood panelling that runs to the second living area; here you'll find a desk should you need to catch up on work or if you're feeling inspired to write or paint.

The sitting room at the opposite end is seriously sumptuous with plenty of seating so everyone can gather around for family film using the Smart TV and Sonos sound bar. Choose to snuggle up on the pretty mustard yellow or the luxurious blue velvet sofa with a soft blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the warmth of the Rasmussen woodburning stove flickering against the stunning antique tiles.

Eating

The statement galley kitchen is black, bold and beautiful with plenty of storage and worktop space, plus all the gadgets and gizmos you could ever need to rustle up a delicious meal, including an electric Stoves range cooker, dishwasher, fridge freezer and the all-important Nespresso coffee machine. More than just practical, this is also a lovely spot to sip your morning coffee with its carrera marble quartz worktops, ink black cabinets, industrial-style lamps, stunning white subway tiles and pretty views up to garden.

Step through the double doors from the snug or kitchen and you'll find the bright and blissful conservatory dining area. Surrounded by the lush greenery of the garden, this is a perfect space for family gatherings with its beautiful zinc-topped trestle table and sheepskin covered chairs. Settle in for the evening with your loved ones for a merry meal or on sunny days you can throw open the doors and let in that country breeze.

In addition, the bootroom has a washer/dryer.

Sleeping

Forager has the choice of four heavenly bedrooms, all adorned with tranquil shades of whites, greys and blues. Every bed is swathed in gorgeous linens and soft luxurious throws to ensure a blissful nights' sleep after a day out exploring.

The stunning master bedroom boasts a Loaf king size bed, a built-in wardrobe and a Victorian chest of drawers to keep clothes tucked away. The stylish en suite is a shower room and comes complete ith underfloor heating to keep your toes warm in the morning.

The second bedroom has a plumptuous super king bed which is a zip-and-link, meaning it can also be made up as a twin. It also benefits from a Loaf chest of drawers, pretty antiques and a Smart TV. It's also the best room for setting up the cot, should you need one.

Bedroom number three is a snug 4ft 6" double, super cosy with stunning garden views and out over the rolling countryside.

Bedroom four is just darling with cleverly designed carpentry bunks - perfect for little ones to share!

All beds have high quality anti allergy bedding for a great nights' sleep.

Babies and children

Bathing

The master bedroom has its own modern en suite shower room and there is a family bathroom which has a sensational roll-top bath with overhead shower. You can enjoy complimentary White Company toiletries and well as warm and fluffy towels straight off the heated rails.

Outdoor space

Not only set in rolling countryside, Forager has its very own picturesque hillside! From the conservatory, make your way up the hill to enjoy one of the best views Devon has to offer with long stretches of green fields, panoramic sky views and nothing between you and the sunshine.

Just a few steps up from the conservatory, you'll find a decked, woodland walkway lit by pretty festoon lighting, as well as low level lights. This walkway leads to a lovely decking area, complete with table and chairs for six for sun-soaked moments, al fresco dining and tipples on balmy summer nights.

Enjoy a spot of lunch on the decking area whilst the little ones and the dogs run free on the green lawn and the fire pit area is perfect for spending evenings in the great outdoors by the firepit, turn on the outdoor lights, grab a bag of marshmallows and make some precious memories under the stars. At the top of the hill you will find the Hillside Hangout/Garden room - fully equipped as a chill out zone with comfy sofas, drinks fridge, and the most incredible view to be enjoyed either from inside the hideout or on the deck outside.
