Twitchers Itch, Chilla is a charming three-bedroom cottage nestled in peaceful countryside near Beaworthy, offering a delightful blend of traditional character and contemporary comfort. The well-appointed kitchen features an electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge / freezer, Tassimo coffee machine, and washing machine, whilst the adjacent dining area provides seating for all guests around a welcoming table. The cosy sitting room invites you to sink into comfortable seating, enjoy the Smart TV, challenge each other to board games from the extensive collection, or light the warming wood burner on chillier evenings.
Heading outside, the enclosed patio becomes your private retreat, centred around a bubbling hot tub where you can soak beneath Devon sunsets or gaze at star-studded skies, with plenty of outdoor seating and a charcoal barbecue for alfresco dining. Upstairs, three well-presented bedrooms provide restful accommodation: one king-size room and two flexible twin rooms, perfect for families or friends travelling together. A family bathroom with bath completes the upper floor, whilst downstairs a separate shower room with walk-in shower and WC adds practical convenience.
Picture long summer evenings in the hot tub, watching the sky blush pink and gold over rolling countryside, a cold drink within reach and gentle birdsong drifting across the fields. Days unfold at whatever pace suits you: perhaps a morning walk with four-pawed friends through quiet lanes, an afternoon challenging the family to table football in the shared games room, then firing up the barbecue as twilight settles. This is countryside living at its most relaxing, where time seems to slow and everyday worries simply melt away.
