Hayescott House’s exterior belies a spacious, beautifully restored interior, the huge dining-room fireplace, low lintels, beams and uneven floors throughout evoking a sense of history. Furnished in oak and elegant fabrics, the sitting-room and dining-room overlook the lane. Original floor slates complement granite worktops in the hand-made kitchen, where a light-filled sitting-area at one end leads to the terrace and the enclosed garden. The ground floor bedroom has French doors overlooking the garden, and the bedrooms upstairs, two with sleigh beds, enjoy views to the valley and Dartmoor beyond.
