The property
Sitting peacefully amongst rolling hills and narrow country lanes overlooking the surrounding Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is pretty Grade II listed which began life in the 14th Century as a Quaker farm and meeting place.
The thatched Devon longhouse is home to the owners and its cleverly converted former barns are now five attractive cottages set within seven acres of lovely grounds and gardens.
Footpaths lead directly from the property through the scenic countryside of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Quakers is a quaint thatched annexe to the main farmhouse.
Downstairs there is a neat galley kitchen with wood worktop and a tiled floor.

The twin beds can be joined to make a super king double on request.
