Lower Woodhouse Cottage is a Grade II Listed detached thatched cottage in the heart of the Mid-Devon countryside. It sits adjacent to the country lane giving good access, whilst bordering local farmland for a truly rural feel. The highly regarded ‘foody pub’, The Thelbridge Inn, is just a country walk up the hill too.

The property has undergone a massive refurbishment throughout 2018 and now offers beautifully presented accommodation, including two double bedrooms and a new shower room (double shower cubicle, WC & sink) upstairs. There are some beautiful, exposed floorboards to be seen too.

The kitchen diner has a 2018 fitted kitchen with an integrated induction hob (extractor over), oven and microwave with matching floor tiling running through to the handy utility room with space, power and plumbing for washing machine, tumble dryer and undercounter fridge, plus a downstairs WC. The cottage has had new plumbing and a new central heating system (outside Worcester combi-boiler).

WITHERIDGE is a large village in a secluded part of Devon, between Dartmoor and Exmoor – known commonly as the gateway to the ‘Two Moors Way’, an epic hiker’s trail. Close to the village are some enchanting woodland walks, including, the magical ‘Tarka Trail’ at Eggesford - a 20-min drive away. Its annual fayre ‘St John’s’ is one of the oldest in the country (est 1248) and offers lots of traditional displays, such as morris dancing, folk music and maypole dancing. There are two inns, ‘The Mitre’ and ‘The Thelbridge Cross’ – both of which have good reviews on trip advisor. Like many bigger villages Witheridge has a modern shop/ post office with all the essentials. The nearest towns are Crediton, 11 miles south and Tiverton, 10 west.

BLACK DOG, a mile to the east is a small Mid Devon village, located 7 miles north of Crediton and 10 miles west of Tiverton. It sits astride one of the highest ridges of land that run between Dartmoor and Exmoor, at an altitude of 656 feet. Such elevation allows a panoramic unfurling of the countryside. Dartmoor is particularly visible, and can be appreciated from the ‘Black Dog Inn’ – a mid-way watering hole, favoured by ramblers taking on the ‘Two Moors Way’. This is a long distance trek (102 miles), winding over both moors from South Devon to North Devon (some 50 miles of walking deserves a tipple!). The Two Moors Way crosses the road a few hundred yards from the property.
