The space
The gorgeous, quaint cottage and adjoining gardens are for you to enjoy exclusively.

A modern come rustic extension was completed in October 2021 and adds space, class and comfort to the property with the addition of a new master bedroom with reclaimed exposed wooden beams; a stylish ensuite and separate space for wardrobe and chest of drawers.

Downstairs the extension has created an extremely spacious kitchen complete with range cooker;built in dishwasher; island with three stools and a comfortable three seater sofa. There is a boot room adjoining the kitchen which gives access to the house from the driveway.

The existing property is full of quirk, character and stylish furnishings and decor. The large open-plan lounge contains a farmhouse style table; a comfortable corner sofa; smart TV and log burner.

Upstairs you will also find the second bedroom with a double bed with views of the surrounding hillside and next door is the main bathroom with an enclosed shower; WC and separate bath with a shower head hose.

Back downstairs the bifolding doors open the house for indoor-outdoor living and from here you can enjoy the patio furniture and look out at the hillside and characterful cottage garden beds.

A short walk up the garden takes you to our “secret garden” which is where you’ll find the fire pit; a BBQ; and hammock from which you can enjoy views from the shade of the apple tree out to our small meadow.

Other things to note
Parking is available at the property for up to two cars

Neighborhood highlights

We’re extremely lucky to live in a quiet, friendly village that always has something to offer:
- We have lovely neighbours and the lane we live down is full of friendly faces and is a quiet and relaxed place to live.
- We live directly behind St James' church which has lavish furnishings and a remarkable spire which is lit up in the evening and can be seen from the garden
- The Jack Russell, our local pub which is also locally owned, is a couple of minutes walk away via the gorgeous stream side gardens. The pub does superb food, has a great atmosphere and the landlords are frequently putting on different events for their patrons to enjoy - we would highly recommend visiting the pub during your stay.
- Not far from the pub Swimbridge Village Play Park which has stunning views and from there you can enjoy the play apparatus, the full sized football pitch or the perimeter walk which you can dip your toes in or watch the stream wildlife
- The village hall often has events on, so if you are interested in finding out what is going on at the time of your stay please let us know.
- You don't have to walk too far to get just outside/above Swimbridge to be able to appreciate and enjoy some spectacular views.
- Landkey, the closest village to Swimbridge has its own shop, post office and pub of its own
- Easily accessible to nearby Barnstaple or South Molton where you will have access to almost anything you could need
- A short drive to the stunning beaches of North Devon - you’ll be spoilt for choice!
- Exmoor is not too far away and offers endless views and incredible walking/hiking/biking routes
- Swimbridge has very few street lights which means almost no light pollution - so on a clear evening you will be able to sit outside and look up and enjoy a breathtaking night sky
- The cottage is perfectly situated if you are attending a wedding/reception in the village

My work: Learning & Development
Most useless skill: I’m extraordinarily fast at doggy paddle
I’m Roisin and when I’ve not been at uni or travelling, I have lived in North Devon all my life. We have lived in our gorgeous cottage in the stunning village of Swimbridge since 2016 and we’ve poured our hearts into maintaining and improving our wonderful home. We love where we live for so many reasons - our lovely neighbours, the church bells, the sunsets on the hillside, the scrummy food and ambience of the local pub, the stream side gardens and the endless circular routes to name a few - never mind the house and the garden itself! From our home, we’re never far from being completely spoilt by the beauty of North Devon to enjoy our favourite hobbies, which include mountain biking; surfing; running; walking and skateboarding. We love to offer people the chance to soak up all the best bits of our home, whilst we use Air B&B to explore other areas in the UK and beyond.
