With the rugged moors and tors of Dartmoor and Exmoor close by, this beautiful barn conversion is ideal for a family retreat to the country. Escape the bustle of the daily grind in this rural haven located on a working farm. Here you can help the owners feed the animals, or simply use it as a base for exploring the tourist hotspots and unspoilt villages that lie within easy reach.
Spacious and airy throughout, this barn exudes grandeur from the moment you step over the threshold. The magnificent open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides the perfect backdrop for catching up with the family whilst you cook up a storm, before sitting back and relaxing in front of the TV. On cooler evenings get the wood burner roaring; it transforms the space into a cosy retreat. In those summer months though, make use of the large enclosed rear patio area, where you’ll find garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ for those al fresco dinners.
The market town of Okehampton lies just 7.5 miles from the property, offering an array of shops, cafes, restaurants, and pubs. The real gems of the area though are Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, which are both a drive from this rural retreat (11.5 miles and 23 miles respectively). Explore on foot, bicycle, or even on horseback thanks to a choice of local riding stables. You’ll find the stunning country house of Castle Drogo 15 miles away: a National Trust property boasting a beautiful Lutyens designed garden, plus a children’s Bunty House with its own miniature garden.
