Northcote Lodge is a contemporary cottage-style property sitting on a quiet country lane outside the village of Burrington in Devon. Sleeping up to six guests across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, it offers splendid views over the Taw Valley from the first-floor main living area. The living space features a wood burner and French doors opening onto a balcony that makes the most of the triple aspect views.

Burrington itself has a cluster of 17th-century cob houses, a village church and a 500-year-old oak tree in the village square. High Bickington is three miles away with cosy pubs serving home-cooked food. Exmoor is easily accessible and the North Devon coast is within striking distance.

The three bedrooms are a first-floor king-size with en-suite shower and WC, a ground-floor double and a first-floor twin. There are three bathrooms: a ground-floor walk-in shower room, the king-size en-suite and a first-floor family bathroom with bath and hand-held shower.

RHS Garden Rosemoor is 11 miles away. Barnstaple North Devon's largest town with a pannier market is 12 miles. Westward Ho! surf beach is 18 miles and Croyde beach is 23 miles.

Northcote Lodge suits families or groups of six wanting a well-equipped Devon base with countryside views, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and an enclosed garden with a sheltered patio.
