Old Church House, Brayford is a three bedroom whitewashed cottage in High Bray dating back to the 16th century. Oak beams, stone fireplaces and multi-paned windows in this Grade II listed property blend with the well-equipped oak kitchen. The spacious living room is warmed by a woodburner (and central heating in winter). It’s perfect for curling up with one of the books from the library or enjoying views of the garden and churchyard nearby. The galleried landing leads to three bedrooms (a double, twin and a single) and a family bathroom with shower over bath.
Mix a jug of summer punch or pop a chilled bottle of bubbly and relax in the pretty cottage garden. It’s an idyllic spot for listening to the sound of silence.
Surrounded by countryside, the Old Church House, Brayford is a hiker’s paradise in a scenic area of Exmoor. Explore moorland, villages and the coastal path on foot, bicycle, horseback or by car. Enjoy a delicious Sunday Lunch at the traditional Black Venus Inn in Challacombe and return for weekday specials. Barnstaple (nine miles) has good shopping and a pannier market while Saunton Sands offer miles of golden dunes a little further away. Pretty Lynton and Lynmouth offer a historic port, museum and Cliff Railway along with riverside walks to NT Watersmeet. For children, Combe Martin has a lovely sandy cove and a Wildlife / Dinosaur Park 12 miles away.
