Sages is a grand 6-bedroom Regency villa with 80ft verandah hidden in an acre of walled gardens, at the very heart of a pretty Devon village of traditional houses in the Torridge Valley. It is great for families as the children can run around the extensive grounds without any danger of traffic.

Summary: This property was exactly as described, shabby chic and quirky. We loved the house, with ita hidden nooks and surprises round every corner! The gardens are wonderful, and Jenny was a fabulous contact, helpful and friendly with lots of local knowledge and passion for the area.
