Bass Court:
Bass Court (converted from an agricultural
building built circa 1650), is set in a private cobbled courtyard
overlooked by large mullioned windows. Within this courtyard is a Canadian hot tub in an elegantly cedar
shingled bath house which is for the sole use of the occupants of the cottage.
Upstairs, the low windows, set below the thatched roof and
exposed timbers, enhance the sense of charm with three bedrooms (each with
its own bathroom the master of which is en suite).
The extensive ground floor includes a twin bedroom (suitable
for the partially disabled), using
a shower room/toilet.
Bass Court has a well proportioned kitchen large enough
to eat 'en famille' at the oval oak table. China and glass
is displayed on the
Dartmouth dresser, so called because it was made from the
ships timbers of HMS Britannia, a three decked warship moored
in the river Dart which was the home of Dartmouth Naval College
before the current building was built in 1905.
The sitting room in Bass Court exudes a warmth and character
that reflects the age of the building. Cool in the summer
months, and snug in the winter (Bass has a log burning stove)
and is ideal whatever the weather and season.
Bass Court has a private terrace and garden to the West side
of the cottage, which overlooks the countryside beyond.
