The Old Pottery, Foxdown is a converted stone outbuilding on the edges of a quiet village and down a narrow Devon lane. It is attached to, but separate from the main house.
It is a wonderfully peaceful and quiet location surrounded by Riverford Farm organic fields and away from the hustle and bustle.
The space
You enter The Old Pottery up two steps from your own parking space on the drive. This leads you directly into the fully fitted kitchen which contains fridge, 4 ring hob, microwave, oven, dishwasher and all crockery/cutlery you need.
The kitchen leads directly into the sitting area, with its comfortable sofa facing west into the afternoon sun across the garden. There is also a dining area with table and chairs.
The bathroom is unique and has been described as a personal Spa as it contains a hand made mosaic bath which is very comfortable for two people side by side, as well as a shower and stone basin. Organic fluffy towels are provided as well as bathrobes.
The bedroom has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the fields towards Dartmoor. The king size bed is fitted with luxury Egyptian cotton bedding. The folding bed is brought in when required. It is totally peaceful and quiet and leads on to a little private patio for your sole use to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine by the chiminea under the stars.
There is a smart tv so you can log in to your own Netflix/Amazon Prime accounts.
The rest of the garden belongs to the main house but you are free to wander around.

Neighborhood highlights
Landscove is a quiet village tucked away in the South Hams 2 miles down a single track lane with passing places, but only 10 minutes from the A38 at Ashburton so easily accessible.
Dartmoor is 15 minutes away, as is Totnes. The closest coast is 30 minutes away. The outstanding Riverford Field Kitchen is only 10 minutes away, or the village pub 15 minutes walk down the hill also serves food.
With two young adult daughters in the house there is always someone available for reasonably priced babysitting should you wish.

Lives in Landscove, United Kingdom
My family moved to Landscove over ten years ago and my children have grown up exploring the local rivers/woods/fields with total freedom.
I mostly work from home for a charity providing sheltered housing for the elderly.
Myself and my partner Neil are also long-standing volunteers with the local Dartmoor Mountain Rescue team, who help the lost, injured and vulnerable both on Dartmoor and all over Devon. We both have a passion for and extensive knowledge of Dartmoor.
Having grown up in France I am also a fluent French speaker.
