Description

The peaceful little village of Skilgate nestles near the Somerset/Devon border not far from Exmoor National Park and just a mile from Wimbleball Lake, an idyllic place for a picnic, invigorating walks, sailing or fly fishing. Situated at the edge of the village semi-detached Cleveland Cottage, built around 1750, is full of traditional character and original features including typically low doorways, turning cottage stairs and sloping floors in both attractive bedrooms upstairs. Downstairs, the spacious sitting-room has a cosy open fire and a door leading out to the sunny south-facing garden. The cream fitted kitchen/dining-room has open beams, and the pretty bathroom has a roll-top bath. This delightful, relaxing retreat is surrounded by a beautiful rural landscape where the sights and sounds of nature will help restore your equilibrium – and all within 40 minutes’ drive of the motorway! Regrettably, due to the steep drop to the lane beside the garden, this cottage is unsuitable for younger children.
