Accommodation overview: Woodley Wood Farm is positioned in a totally secluded location, set amongst woodlands and accessed 1 mile down a private drive. The detached property is Victorian in style, boasting a spacious living room with large open fireplace, and a lovely formal dining room with open fire, leading through patio doors to a lawned garden. An ideal holiday property for a family gathering or special occasion. To the side of the property is a sunny Victorian-style conservatory - a lovely room in which to have morning coffee and read the papers. The house is set within nearly 70 acres of private woodlands where deer may be seen, and has many nature walks cut through. Families with children will have great fun exploring the woods, and even a little wooden ‘den’ can be found tucked away. On the sloping banks, leading down the the river in the valley below are three large ponds and running along the valley bottom is the River Erme. The 180-degree views from the property are of the woodlands on the sloping banks opposite, once home to a famous wildlife artist. The house is surrounded by nature: flora and fauna including birds, owls, foxes, badgers and frogs are all present in the immediate area. Approximately 5 miles away is the Edwardian town of Modbury, situated midway between Dartmoor and the coast. Modbury has a good range of shops including butchers, bakers and delicatessan, as well as a small supermarket. Also in the area are many local food producers including farmshops, a vineyard, and within a mile from the property, the well known Chilli Farm, where chilli chocolate is made. There is horse riding available locally, plus fishing and pigeon shooting. Many beaches on the south coast are accessible within a short drive, including Bigbury-on-Sea near Modbury - a wide sandy beach popular with families in the summer and a hot spot for surfing. Bigbury-on-Sea is unique, in that there is a small island just off the beach - visitors can walk across the sandy causeway at low tide or ride across in the sea tractor at high tide. Shop, pub 5 miles.
