Nethercott Manor, Rose Ash, is a delightful two-bedroom wing of a 17th-century thatched farmhouse, set within 160 acres of rolling Devon countryside on a working cattle and sheep farm. The farmhouse-style kitchen features an Aga alongside an electric cooker and hob, an American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, and coffee machine, arranged around a long dining table perfect for leisurely family meals. A handy utility room and study area lead off the kitchen, offering extra space for pets or children. The inviting living room showcases a wood burner set within an inglenook fireplace, with patio doors that open onto the garden.
Step outside to enjoy the enclosed lawns, patio seating, and swing bench, with a gate leading through to open countryside and a stream beyond. Upstairs, two beautifully appointed bedrooms, a king-size with Smart TV and en-suite shower room, and a super-king-size (available as twins on request), are complemented by a family bathroom with bath and separate WC.
Imagine waking to birdsong and the gentle warmth of the Aga as you brew your morning coffee. Spend sun-drenched afternoons on the swing bench, watching cattle drift across the fields, before venturing down to the stream as the evening light turns golden. When night falls, gather around the crackling wood burner and share the stories of your Exmoor adventures.
