Property code: OC-BARTON

This beautiful barn conversion, lovingly restored and completed to a high standard during 2017, offers a unique and modern living space designed to take advantage of the stunning Devon countryside views which surround the property. A fabulous rural retreat for four, the property is sure to provide special memories and leave you wanting to return time and time again.

Combining modern style with characterful touches and incredible rural views, this beautiful barn has a serene ambience. The entrance at the rear brings you into the boot room/utility area, handy for shedding outdoor wear after a countryside ramble. Steps lead down into the expansive kitchen/dining room with the glass-panelled gallery and living area above it on two sides, creating a sense of space. The room benefits from underfloor heating and modern appliances. French doors lead out to the enclosed, suntrap terrace, ideal for BBQs and relaxing with a drink in hand. From the kitchen, a few steps lead down to the spacious super-king master bedroom which boasts lovely countryside views and a luxurious en-suite. Upstairs, the living room has comfy seating in front of the modern wood burner. The highlight, however, is the huge window which offers magnificent views all year round; the owners have left a pair of binoculars to allow you to catch a glimpse of owls flying past. A double bedroom is also on this floor and has the use of a separate shower room.

There is so much to see and do in this countryside idyll. Less than half a mile away is Bishop Nympton with its community-run village shop and post office. The busy market town of South Molton lies just over 3 miles away and provides a range of independent shops and amenities including a twice-weekly pannier market and supermarket. Popular village pubs such as those in Molland and Kings Nympton are within 8 miles. The golden expanse of Saunton Sands (25 miles), a dog-friendly beach, or the unspoilt natural beauty of Exmoor National Park (9 miles) are well worth an adventurous day out.
