The Hideaway, Thurlestone

The Hideaway sits on Furzey Close outside Kingsbridge, a stone gatepost engraved with the road name marking the turn into the drive.

An armchair and sofa beside French doors

The living room pairs an armchair with a sofa beside a set of French doors, opening straight onto the garden and the dining table beyond, breakfast laid there some mornings with the doors thrown open.

A white kitchen with a black worktop

The kitchen is white-fitted with a black worktop and a built-in oven, further units and a worktop running beneath the window on the opposite wall.

Two bedrooms with grey padded headboards

Two bedrooms carry the same grey padded headboard, one opening through glass doors onto the garden and finished with framed artwork, the other dressed with a navy striped throw behind wooden panelled wardrobe doors. The two bathrooms include a glass shower cubicle with a heated towel rail, and a second with a bath below a glass-screened rainfall shower.

A patio for barbecues and a garden path

A patio just outside the kitchen holds a dining table, chairs and a barbecue, the garden opening out beyond it with a lawn bordered by mature trees and a blossom tree in flower beside the stone wall, a curving path lined with flower borders leading through the grounds in the evening light.

A countryside base near Thurlestone
