Part of the East Devon
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Harcombe lies less than
three miles inland from Sidmouth and just 1.5 miles to Sidford,
with Spar mini-supermarket, pharmacy and two local pubs.
Built in 1640 and originally the
site of the local chapel, Chapel Cottage has been owned by the same
family for generations, once forming part of the Sand Estate in
Sidbury, home to the Huyshe family for over 500 years.
The cottage would suit anyone wanting a quiet,
relaxing, "get away from it all" holiday. With abundant wildlife in
the large garden and surrounding fields, its inglenook fireplace
for cosy winter fires, patio area for al fresco summer meals,
masses of daffodils and primroses in the spring and spectacular
views of countryside glowing gold in the autumn. With central
heating throughout Chapel Cottage is the perfect holiday
destination during any season.
