Shirwell

Shirwell sits in North Devon countryside, with the town of Barnstaple named separately in property addresses rather than forming part of the place itself. Waytown Cottage occupies a private wing of a working sheep and beef farmhouse here, approached through its own archway into a hallway before opening into a sociable ground-floor space combining lounge, dining area and kitchen. A shower room with WC and a utility room with washing machine complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, Waytown Cottage sleeps up to six across three bedrooms: a double with en-suite shower room, a further double and a twin, alongside a family bathroom with bath and WC. Outside, a patio with outdoor furniture sits below a lawned area reached by steps, with a charcoal barbecue and swing/slide for children. Private off-road parking accommodates three cars, and guests staying here can arrange separate use of a heated indoor pool and jacuzzi nearby for an additional fee payable to the owner.
