Encircled by the gentle hills of the Devon countryside, this thoughtfully converted former barn makes a welcoming base for couples or solo travellers looking to swap busy routines for fresh air and open views. Before heading indoors, take in the timber-clad exterior and the surrounding greenery, setting a calm tone from the outset.
Inside, character details such as exposed beams and flagstone flooring sit comfortably alongside contemporary touches. The ground floor is arranged in an open-plan layout, bringing together a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and a comfortable lounge. After a day out, settle into the seating and put on the Smart TV, or prepare a meal in the kitchen, with options to dine at the breakfast bar or outside on the patio. A convenient WC completes this level. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom is a restful retreat, with a skylight and window framing views across the countryside. An en-suite shower room rounds off the accommodation. On warmer days, make the most of the private patio garden for morning coffee or an evening drink. With off-road parking for one car, coming and going is a breeze.
You'll find Exmoor National Park, Dartmoor National Park and the Blackdown Hills National Landscape all within 21 miles, each bringing miles of walking routes, picnic spots and wildlife encounters. For something on the water, Wimbleball Lake (19 miles) is great for kayaking, paddleboarding or sailing. Closer to home, the historic market town of Tiverton (8 miles) invites a wander, with its medieval castle, canal walks, and a good mix of independent shops, pubs, and cafes. Further afield, Knightshayes Court and Castle Drogo – both cared for by the National Trust – make for fascinating visits, while Exeter (16 miles) draws visitors in with its cathedral, lively high street and varied attractions.
