Property overview: Homeleigh is a 19th Century cottage in the heart of the peaceful, Dartmoor village of Bridestowe near Okehampton. The cottage retains many of its original features, with large, stone fireplace and oak beams in the spacious living room. The small, secluded garden comes complete with patio and picnic table. Just a stone’s throw from the local pub and village shop, the cottage has views of the open moor, only a mile away. There are several excellent pubs/restaurants in the near vicinity. Conveniently positioned just a few miles from the market towns of Okehampton, Launceston and Tavistock, the village is a perfect place from which to explore the delights of the Dartmoor National Park, while the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall are only 45 minutes drive away. Bridestowe lies on one of the newly-established, national cycle routes and is very close to the Okehampton to Tavistock railway track – now a delightful cycle path. The historic village of Lydford with its famous waterfall and gorge is only 3 miles away. The moor itself is the ideal open space to enjoy walking, bird-watching and horse-riding. The cottage has full, oil-fired central heating and the added advantage of a cosy, open fire in the living room for those colder evenings.
