Enjoy light-filled interiors and far-reaching countryside views as you unwind with friends or family at this two-bedroomed abode. Just 8 miles from Tiverton, it has a chic open-plan living space, an enclosed garden and – perfect if you’re holidaying with four-pawed pals – a dog-friendly inn on the doorstep.

One of a small cluster of contemporary properties in the pretty hamlet of Nomansland, this detached house is a fabulous choice for a battery-recharging break in the beautiful mid-Devon countryside. Step into the hallway and there’s a handy cloakroom to one side; beyond, the open-plan living space has two sets of patio doors delivering uninterrupted field views and filling the room with light. Two comfortable sofas, a Smart TV and wood burner set the scene for laid-back lounging, while to the rear of the room the Shaker-style kitchen is a lovely space in which to cook; low-level units create an uncluttered feel, which is enhanced by a round dining table and bentwood chairs. When it’s time for bed, two restful rooms are on the first floor – one has a king-size bed and the other has twins. Ensuring there’s something to suit everyone, the modern bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower. The property stands on its own plot, with private off-road parking for two cars to the front and, at the rear, an enclosed garden with a patio, lawn and extensive views across a patchwork of green fields.

Make time to explore your surroundings – there’s a traditional country inn within 300 metres and a farm shop a little further along the same road, while the village of Witheridge (2 miles) is home to local stores and refreshment stops. Head 8 miles in the opposite direction and you’ll reach Tiverton, home to a historic castle, a thriving pannier market and the Grand Western Canal Country Park, where you’ll find horse-drawn barges, cycle routes, walks and picnic spots.
