Blackdowns Farmhouse

Come for peace and space, a sitting room with a large open fire, plenty of chairs and sofas, antiques, books and board games. There’s a separate study with a desk for those who need to work, a snug with a cinema for escapees and a big hall with a hidden cocktail cabinet and an under stairs fridge. Something for everyone! The kitchen/dining room is well kitted out with two ovens, a separate pantry and a table which easily seats twelve plus two children. You’re left with organic milk and butter in the fridge, a sourdough loaf, drinks and mixers in the bar – you’ll even find a treat for your dog.

Bedrooms come in a mix of doubles, a twin and a bunk room with extra pull-out beds; bathrooms are brand new, the views soar in every direction over rolling pastures. Outdoors you’ll find seating areas at front and back, a games barn with table football and table tennis and seven acres to explore.

You’re in a rural spot on the outskirts of the village and five miles to a farm shop.
