About this property
Alfington Farm Cottage, full of charm & character
A beautiful cottage full of character with three double bedrooms, sleeps 6+2 near Ottery St Mary. Benefits include: wood burner, private garden with a play house for the kids and BBQ, parking for 2 cars. A superb location for families and friends wishing to explore this beautiful part of the country. Easy access to Exeter 20 mins, airport 12 mins, West Point 15 mins and array of moors and beaches within 20 mins. Relax in the peaceful countryside with easy access to Exeter and the Jurassic coast.
The space
Alfington Farm Cottage is situated between the historic towns of Ottery St Mary and Honiton. It is a wonderful location for walkers with almost one hundred footpaths; from the level paths along the banks of the River Otter punctuated by pubs and restaurants, to the coastal paths rising to nearly nine hundred feet.
There are a wide array of individual shops with local produce, antiques shops, including the renown "Fagin's" and "Toby's" as featured in Kirsty Allsop's Homemade Homes, together with pubs and cafes for you to visit.
Within easy reach is the Historic Roman City of Exeter with its cathedral and free "Red-coat walking tours". To the east are Charmouth and Lyme Regis, the original home of one of the founders of modern archeology, Mary Anning, which still offer some of the best fossil hunting in the UK accessible to young and old alike. The Jurassic coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of outstanding natural beauty and offers access to fabulous beaches and charming seaside towns such as Budleigh Salterton, Beer, Branscombe, Exmouth, Sidmouth and Lyme regis, which are all found along this stretch of coastline. Further afield is Dartmoor and Exmoor all within a 30 mins drive.
Amenities:
- Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and central heating on the first floor.
- The large fully furnished Kitchen/breakfast room features both an electric cooker and traditional Range cooker (AGA), microwave, Smeg fridge, Tassimo Coffee machine (as well as traditional kettle, toaster, tea bags, sugar, sweetener and freeze dried coffee for the quick cuppa) and dishwasher
- The dining room comfortably seats 8 at the large locally reclaimed oak farmhouse table, with space to spare for a high chair.
- A desk with adapter for extra USB ports is provided for catching up on work and emails if you must)
- A utility room/boot room (the perfect place to disrobe from muddy explorations) comes fitted with washing machine and tumble dryer.
- The Family room has a selection of books, games and puzzles for all generations to play in front of the woodburning stove, (a starter pack of wood and coal is included. More can be bought from us or the local shop). For the quieter evening a Smart TV with linked harman/kardon sound bar featuring Freeview and Netflix.
