There are 3 bedrooms available, one single bedroom downstairs closely located to a toilet and a large double bedroom and single bedroom upstairs. I have two dogs and a cat, they are all very friendly. Outside the back door is a courtyard garden with steps going up to a very large garden, which is fenced off and I’m currently in the process of building a vegetable plot.

There are no public transport links or shops in Chevithorne but Tiverton has a large town centre with an array of shops, cafes, bus and taxi services, gyms, spas, there’s a swimming pool, cinema, parks, banks, post offices, museums, a library and a hospital.
