This historic 5 bedroom house dates back to the 12 Century in parts. It oozes charm and style, with every care taken to ensure guests experience the most relaxing holiday imaginable deep in the heart of North Devon just 2 miles from the sea.

Step through the stable door to a flag-stoned, suntrap patio, perfect for relaxed mornings, lazy lunches and fabulous family dinners or BBQs after a day at the beach or exploring the many foot and cycle paths in this part of North Devon. The house is great for families with children of all ages with a separate a games-room with table-football and a PlayStation, while upstairs there is a children-only box-room with a huge toy collection. Orchard is set in two acres of grounds with lawns, woods and gardens that just have to be explored. Great for climbing, damming streams or climbing and playing games all day long. Upstairs reached by a main staircase or second twisting narrow staircase, there are 4 bedrooms, 2 double with en suites and 2 twins and a good-sized family bathroom with twin sinks. The 5th bedroom is within a separate, self-contained ground floor annexe - ideal for grand-parents.
