This stylishly converted barn is one of two properties on the owner’s smallholding, in rural countryside within 500 metres of the two Tamar Lakes on the Devon/Cornwall border. Sized for smaller families, it’s got everything you’ll need for a comfortable, relaxing holiday. Get into holiday mode with sundowners in your private enclosed garden or sip an aperitif on the sofa by the cosy wood burner. Delightful walks start from your door and there’s a choice of water activities available within 1 mile.
Traditional materials give the exterior a strong sense of the local area; local stone, hand-sculpted plaster, and strong oak lintels. Downstairs the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with wooden and slate floors, two comfortable sofas, and a dining table for four, provides a generous space for family time together planning the next day’s adventures. Family meals are easy to prepare in the well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs, both the king-size master bedroom and the twin room have en-suite bathrooms. Overall, there’s a bright and serene ambience, with natural wood, calm shades, exposed beams and homely touches. French windows lead to the enclosed, shingle garden, BBQ and seating area: the perfect setting for balmy summer evenings.
Stroll from your door to explore Lower Tamar Lake’s nature reserve, or arrange activities from sailing and kayaking to coarse fishing at the water sports centre beside Upper Tamar Lake. The Cornish seaside town of Bude, 9 miles away, offers sandy Summerleaze Beach, a tidal pool, mini golf, and a range of shops and eateries. Sandymouth and Duckpool Bay beaches are both within 7 miles, and the A39 is 3 miles away for day tripping – picturesque Clovelly village on the North Devon coast is within 13 miles.
