An English country barn with homely furnishings, original features and an on-site games room. Be enchanted by the surroundings of this rural gem, wander through the woodland and dip a toe in the stream. A fantastic space to host a large group with adventures just beyond the door, this spacious home is set in the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether it’s a summer day spent trekking steep ridges and valleys under clear sunny skies, or crisp winter mornings pulling on the layers and roaming ancient houses, there is lots to do here all year round.
Arrive into a bright and airy kitchen/diner, a wonderful communal space, before retreating into the inviting lounge for quiet time, throw some logs on the wood burner. There are two bedrooms downstairs as well as a bathroom complete with a bathtub for soaking in at the end of a long day. A large garden that wraps around the property, spend evenings eating alfresco, playing garden games until the sun goes down, or enjoying a starry night sky from the hot tub. Guests have access to a shared games room and ample off-road parking located on the private driveway.
Don the walking boots and head into the Blackdown hills; we recommend taking a leisurely walk from Hemyock to Culmstock, noting one of the oldest woollen mills in the UK, Coldharbour Mill, along your way. Discover the history of RAF Dunkeswell during the second world war at Dunkeswell Airfield Heritage Centre. Traditional seaside resorts such as Lyme Regis, Seaton, and Sidmouth are all within 20 miles of this cottage. Along the coast, you will find brilliant beaches, pretty villages and even the opportunity to do some fossil hunting if you’re looking to unearth some fascinating history.
