Orchard Cottage, Lockshill, Dolton Swimbridge
ÂŁ475,000 LOCKSHILL is an idyllic country home in beautiful gardens and woodland. The chocolate box cottage houses four/five bedrooms and faces south with an incredible outlook. With no near neighbours, the property is most private and
offers a plethora of character features, as it is grade two listed. Lockshill is believed to date back to the 17th century and displays beamed ceilings and Inglenook fireplaces, creating a cosy ambiance. The home benefits from mod-
ern conveniences, which have been carefully combined with character attributes within the cottage. The light and spacious accommodation includes a kitchen/breakfast room, complete with an oil fired Aga, a drawing room with a cosy
wood burner and a study, dining room, cloakroom and utility. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms in addition to a space which could be used as a fifth bedroom, if desired. The picturesque cottage is approached through a grav-

elled driveway, leading to a parking area at the back of the home. A detached workshop has planning permission to be used for light industrial use. At the front of the cottage, there is an enclosed terraced section of garden with extens-
ive rural views. A highly desirable feature is the broadleaf woodland which leads down towards a stream at the bottom of a valley. There is also a footpath leading directly from the property to neighbouring countryside providing a beautiful walk.

The living room has large patio doors which open out onto decking, offering panoramic views from the village to the dunes and sea beyond. These views can also be enjoyed from the dual aspect family kitchen/dining area. Rob said: “We wanted to create an inviting space where our guests can take time to relax, admire and really appreciate the unique location of the bungalow and enjoy their leisurely stay alfresco-style.

The Reeds, Croyde
LOCATED in the heart of Croyde is this beautifullypresented bungalow, set within its own mature gardens. The Reeds is a large detached property which has been completely refurbished by its owners, Sarah and Rob Tucker, to cater for the needs of the holiday market. “We endeavoured to make The Reeds an uncluttered, simple, yet luxurious home but with modern conveniences to enhance your stay” said Sarah. “Our ethos and single desire was to create a holiday home that soothed the soul.” The home is light and spacious and offers a wonderful contemporary design, projecting luxury, style and comfort.

joy the views as much as we do.” With three large bedrooms, The Reeds can sleep up to six guests and offers an idyllic holiday retreat. The home is considered suitable for families, beach-lovers, surfers and pets are most welcome. Established property owner and local businessman Rob and his wife Sarah also own a second property, The Anchorage in Putsborough. The husband and wife team have always let their holiday homes through Marsdens Devon Cottages. Rob added: “During our long association with Marsdens, we have been very happy with the number of bookings generated for both our properties and feel we have achieved much more than if we had done it alone. It really has proved to be a part-
nership that has mutually benefitted both businesses and we would highly recommend Marsdens to anyone.” Praising the team at Marsdens, Sarah added: “The team are always professional and very knowledgeable of the local area. “They are friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile for both their guests and owners.” Business development manager Gloria O’ Connell added: “It has been an absolute pleasure working with them both. Their properties are always presented and maintained to the highest standards which is reflected in the fact that both The Reeds and The Anchorage have been awarded five star grading by the independent Visit England Quality Assessment Scheme”.
Rob Tucker, Sarah Tucker and Gloria O’Connell: “The VisitEngland Scheme helps us to get it right for our guests.”
Marsdens has been working in partnership with the Visit England National Grading Scheme for many years now. Gloria added: “We are the only local agency who can offer a full portfolio of Visit England graded properties. “This means that every property in our ever-growing portfolio is assessed each year and independently graded to VE standards by a Quality Assessor”. Rob and Sarah are also keen supporters of the scheme. Rob said: “Not only does it help our visitors to understand the quality they should expect from a property, but as owners it helps us to keep on track and get it right for our guests. We’ve found our guests really appreciate the fact we keep reinvesting in our properties and
they keep coming back.” The Reeds has received a great deal of positive feedback from its visitors. One London-based visitor commented: “A thoroughly enjoyable holiday with our children, grandchildren and Rafa the dog. Excellent bungalow, one of the best we have stayed in. Thank you.” Last year, 52% of visitors to The Reeds were repeat customers, reflecting the couple’s dedication to providing and maintaining top quality, luxury holiday homes. If you are interested in booking either The Reeds or The Anchorage, or are thinking of letting a holiday property, contact the team at Marsdens on 01271 813777.

Verwill Farm, Exmoor
ÂŁ775,000 SET in Exmoor National Park, Verwill Farm is an extensive property with a beautiful farmhouse. A detached cottage, outbuildings and approximately 18 acres of land create Verwill Farm, which is most picturesque due to its structure and desirable location. A plethora of character features contribute to the ambiance of this remarkable home. The farmhouse offers four bedrooms and exudes charm through features such as exposed beams and cosy Inglenook fireplaces. The reception hall overlooks a quaint cobbled courtyard, immediately setting the tone for the property through a vaulted ceiling and exposed beam. Inside the home, the traditional farmhouse kitchen has been designed with families in mind, while presenting immensely beautiful features. This room is dual aspect with garden views and benefits from an oil fired Rayburn in a chimney recess. Slate flagstone flooring extends through the ground floor, including the comfortable sitting room which houses an Inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. A wet room, utility, boot room, study, snug, lobby and dining room/fourth bedroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs, the first bedroom overlooks the impressive rear garden and surrounding land. An ornate fireplace continues in the charming style of the farmhouse, while a range of built-in wardrobes provide a useful space. The family bathroom and second bedroom are also located on this floor. A secondary staircase from the snug leads to a further bedroom with its own en suite. Verwill Farm is approached over a long driveway, from which the detached studio cot-
tage can be seen on the way to the property. The studio cottage comprises an open plan sitting room/kitchen area with a shower room and a delightful mezzanine bedroom area. A modern timber barn is also set within the grounds, offering an excellent, versatile building. At present, this in-
cludes two stables, a foaling box, turn out area, hay and machine store and a dog kennel. At the front of the main house, there is a lovely cobbled courtyard, while attached to the farmhouse there is an additional stone and slate barn. This building offers further potential for conversion to hol-
iday cottages, if desired, subject to the necessary consents. According to the agent, the current owner of Verwill Farm is in the process of applying for planning permission to convert this building to a holiday cottage. The beautiful south facing rear gardens are mainly laid to
Jackson-Stops & Staff: 01271 325153
lawn, on several levels. An extensive terrace provides the perfect spot for al-fresco dining, while a covered hot tub is available by separate negotiation. Quaint attributes include two bridges crossing over a pond and a summer house. Another picturesque stone barn provides great potential, which is currently used to
house the water system and back-up generator. Potential buyers may be interested to know that a further 34.4 acres are available by separate negotiation with its own vehicular access. Verwill Farm is a magnificent property offering not only great potential but an unrivalled setting.

views over land belonging to Eastlake and to Dartmoor in the distance. Access to the kitchen is available from the conservatory, presenting views over the fields which can be enjoyed right from the kitchen sink.

Bushnell & Green: 01769 574363
exposed timber continues throughout this floor. The original two storey part thatched farmhouse combined with a recent extension provides three two-bedroom cottages will full residential use. The cottages have been let on short hold assured tenancies but are also considered perfect for holiday letting or accommodating an extended family. Higher and Middle Cottages could be converted back into one house, if desired, offering
vast four-bedroom accommodation. The buildings are mainly constructed of stone and cob and the thatch was renewed in 2010. Though the cottages offer incredibly character and charm, they would also benefit from some updating. Outside, the cottages each have their own gardens to the rear and the beautiful terrace from the conservatory on the main house. In addition to the main house and cottages, Eastlake
provides potential buyers some 6404 square feet of modern farm buildings, primarily used for the housing and rearing of livestock. These included a general purpose building, workshop, pole barn and covered yard/stock building. The land offers a good holding of ring fenced gently sloping south facing pasture, divided into a number of enclosures. Part of the land is stream bordered and features a delightful area of woodland.

Langabridge Farm, Burrington LANGABRIDGE Farm is centred on a grade two listed farmhouse which has been considerably improved by the current owners. The property offers great potential with planning permission and listed building consent to extend the existing accommodation into an attached barn, as well as adding an extension to the rear. The setting is magnificent, providing a stunning backdrop to this already impressive
ÂŁ675,000
property. Langabridge has a good range of adaptable outbuildings, a paddock and orchard area and a lake and gardens. The home also offers an excellent section of pasture land. Buyers may be interested to know that the property has previously been run as a small dairy farm and the current owners have successfully bred their own livestock. Numerous character features can be found throughout

the home. The sitting room boasts exposed ceiling beams and an original Inglenook fireplace with a bread oven and wood burner. The double aspect kitchen/ breakfast room is most impressive, fitted with oak fronted units and a granite worktop. A former fireplace houses an Esse solid fuel range while the utility, formerly a kitchen, has tiled flooring and more oak base and wall units. Plenty of space is available in
the boot room to accommodate a washing machine and tumble dryer, if desired. A quaint feature of this room is the stable door leading to the rear garden. Upstairs, the home continues to showcase its beautiful character through exposed beams. The first bedroom is a good sized double with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers, the second is also a spacious double with a vaulted ceiling and the third is a smal-
ler double with exposed roof timbers. The gardens and grounds at Langabridge Farm are vast and stunning, including a rear enclosed garden with trees, shrubs, a patio area and garden pond. An enclosed paddock features a summer house at the side of Langabridge. There is also a well-stocked orchard with an area of mature woodland. At the front of the home,
there is a large, open, concreted farm yard with outbuildings including a double bay open fronted barn/car port, dog kennel/store, barn, workshop and additional store. The rest of the land is mainly well-fenced and gated pasture land, divided into five enclosures. Beautiful views over the surrounding Taw Valley can be enjoyed from higher sections of the land. In total, this extends to almost 19 acres.
