The Library

Reviews:

(Provided by Rainer Schuldt) - ...offers high quality interior decoration, a large garden, open log fire, and great views over the landscape of Devon. There's also the Orangery in which two people can sleep, but it is unheated. If you're looking for a quiet and charming property, the Library is first class.

(Provided by John Saunders) - The brochure does not do justice to The Library. It's a mile down a private road and then the library sits behind a 15/20ft high wall, in its "enclosed garden". This is actually a former arboretum and deserves the description grounds. These end in a Ha-Ha beyond which rolling countryside extends to the horizon. Not a road in sight: wonderful. The peace was only disturbed by the sound of lawn mowers. The gardener, Walter, spent most of our few days there cutting the grass, and the owners of the ruined main house cut their bit over a couple of days as well. North Devon seemed poor and run down to us but we were happy to spend a lot of time sitting in the vast main room just enjoying the building, the peace and the view.
