Space
Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms accommodate up to twelve guests in comfort. Four bedrooms feature king-size beds and sweeping views of the countryside, while two of these rooms benefit from en-suite showers. A further bedroom, ideal for younger guests, includes two sets of bunk beds, sleeping four. The family bathroom is fitted with a full-size bath, making it perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
The gardens at Higher Venice are truly special. From the enclosed walled garden to the wildflower banks, streams, and woodland, they offer endless opportunities for peaceful strolls, imaginative play, and quiet moments surrounded by nature. A pond is also within the grounds, so extra care is advised when children are present.
This wonderful South Devon farmhouse is perfect for large families and groups of friends. Children can roam safely across the extensive grounds, while adults relax on the terrace or enjoy a glass of wine in the sunroom. Whether it's breakfast overlooking the valley or an evening barbecue watching the sunset, Higher Venice is a property you will want to return to again and again.
