Discover authentic Devon charm in a 17th-century cottage with endless garden adventures

Hopetown Cottage, Trescott, is a magnificent 17th-century cob stone cottage that welcomes you with four beautifully appointed bedrooms and endless charm. Step into the delightfully well-equipped kitchen / diner, where you can craft family favourites using the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge / freezer, dishwasher, and washer / dryer. The inviting lounge showcases exposed beams and a crackling wood burner set within a feature fireplace, while double doors beckon you into the garden sanctuary.

Venture outside to discover your private haven, complete with patio dining area, garden furniture, sun loungers, and BBQ for memorable al fresco moments. The property boasts 10 acres of stunning gardens and paddocks where children and dogs can roam freely, and guests can enjoy a leisurely game of croquet on the manicured lawn. The master bedroom features a king-size bed with en-suite shower room, whilst a double bedroom and two single rooms share a family bathroom with shower over bath.

Picture yourself waking to birdsong in this tranquil retreat, brewing morning coffee in the cottage kitchen, then stepping onto the patio to breathe in the fresh Devon air. As evening approaches, gather around the wood burner, sharing tales of countryside adventures whilst the flames dance in the stone fireplace.
