Property code: OC-O33094

This characterful converted barn set within a tranquil East Devon valley is ideal for families or friends looking for a peaceful stay on a working farm, where you’ll have complete privacy. Surrounded by 90 acres of oak-dotted meadows, enjoy streamside walks and look out for wildlife. Branscombe Beach, a pebble beach famous for its dramatic cliffs, is just 4 miles away. At the farm, enjoy the views, feed the lambs, collect chicken eggs, and watch milking from a special viewing gallery.

Enter this gorgeous property, set over two levels and head to a beautiful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a vaulted ceiling. This inviting and spacious room is the heart of the home, where you can socialise around the oak table or relax on the comfortable seating. Pop a log in the wood burner on chilly evenings and watch a film on the Smart TV. In summer, open the double doors to the courtyard garden. Leading from this room is an en-suite king-size bedroom. A few steps down at the other end of the living room is another king-size bedroom and the bathroom. A staircase from the living space leads to a charming twin bedroom set into the eaves (with areas of restricted headroom) and an en-suite shower. Outside, relax in the walled garden, with outdoor furniture and a BBQ. At the front of the property is a picnic bench, an open orchard and an unenclosed pond (please watch children and dogs). There is private parking for three cars.

Ideally located for exploring East Devon and the Jurassic Coast, take a trip on the Colyton to Seaton Tramway or visit Beer Quarry Caves, both within 5 miles. Lyme Regis (12.5 miles) is a great spot for beach walks and fossil hunting, and Charmouth Beach (16.5 miles) is perfect for sandcastles and paddleboarding.

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting.Really appreciated the outdoor seating and the addition of an armchair in the living room. Watching the wildlife in the evening (especially the family of pheasants that visited every evening ) was fabulous.Lovely hosts too.Would highly recommend.

Definitely a ''cottage'' with a wow factor!! The website pics are good but in reality, the holiday home was far superior. The quality of craftsmanship in the decor was to a very high standard.
