A unique retreat for large groups or families looking to celebrate and relax in a luxury home.
Boasting eco-credentials - powered with renewable electricity and with a ground source heat pump proving underfloor heating and hot water, the property is ideal whatever the weather, while being mindful of its carbon footprint.
Entering Swallows Dip you are greeted with a galleried landing, with the area emblazoned with natural light and featuring a spacious super-king-size bedroom, and across the hall a separate family shower room.
Making your way down to the lower ground floor the avant-garde living area boasts a chic kitchen with dazzling quartz worktops and built-in appliances, a family dining area, and a generous lounge that opens out onto a private, secure patio overlooking the spectacular man-made pond.
Also found on the lower-ground floor is another spacious super-king-size bedroom which is a handy addition to have.
The next flight of beautiful wooden stairs leads to the upper floor, featuring both master and second bedrooms which offer some of the best views in the area.
The master super-king-size bedroom has a built-in mirrored wardrobe, a beautiful and elegant en-suite, and a corner balcony where it is a must to sit back and admire the wonderful vista. The second super-king-size bedroom also benefits from a lovely en-suite and a balcony which gives an elevated view over the Blackdown Hills and down onto the pond allowing you to ponder and marvel at the cruising fish therein.
From the lounge area, walk out onto the private, enclosed patio and enjoy sitting back for a quiet moment whilst enjoying the spectacular views of the rolling hillsides.
Immerse yourself in the wonderment of watching the swallows swoop and dip in the pond.
Go for a stroll over the spacious adjoining lawned area and pause a while to drink in the magnificent view.
You can then continue down into the meadow and stroll around the mowed margin, enjoying the flora and fauna, and discovering the Field Pond where you can sit and marvel at all the wildlife that it offers in profusion.

Where you’ll be staying
HONITON
Ottery St Mary 5.6 miles; Lyme Regis 14.2 miles; Exeter 16.7 miles.
Honiton is a delightful market town in East Devon, with plenty to offer visitors. It lies in the valley of the River Otter and is surrounded by rolling Devon hills, green wooded valleys and plenty of scattered farming villages. Honiton has an attractive High Street stretching almost 2 miles, and lined with individually owned shops, pubs and restaurants. Honiton has been famous for lacemaking since the reign of Elizabeth I and still has a few lacemakers in work today - visitors can see some fine examples of antique lace in the town’s Allhallows Museum. Honiton boasts the only public art gallery in East Devon; the Thelma Hulbert Gallery occupies an attractive Grade I listed Victorian house, and has links with the Hayward Gallery, London. Honiton is only a short drive from the dramatic 20 mile stretch of Jurassic Coast, England’s first natural World Heritage Site. Resorts such as Seaton, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are found along this stretch of coastline, and all have much to occupy the visitor. Near to Honiton is the cathedral city of Exeter with plenty of large shops, a wealth of museums, a theatre and fabulous restaurants.
Note: Visits to the owner's private small holding can be arranged with the owner prior to your stay.
