Georgian, Grade II listed and rambling over three storeys, it is lovely accommodation for family gatherings or groups of friends. The impressive porch leads into the hall, with its table for a half size game of snooker or a small group to dine.

The country style kitchen is the friendly heart of the home with its Aga and access to the sunny terrace for outdoor meals. Off a half-landing, on the way to the first floor you will find a bright morning room which doubles as a fun games room with its TV, PlayStation and Xbox.

The outside space is wonderful for families, with a big enclosed garden complete with a large lawn, the terrace with barbecue, great countryside views, a well-equipped play area for little children and an amazing campfire area for the older ones to toast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. There is space for a marquee by arrangement too, if you're planning a wedding gathering or family party. With fishing, golf and shooting available locally and the Otter Valley and Blackdown Hills to explore, this is a brilliant place for outdoor activities. There are lots of splendid houses and gardens to visit, as well as the interesting old lace-making town of Honiton and beaches on the fossil-rich Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Sidmouth, Branscombe and Beer.
