  • Detached barn conversion property situated on a 350-acre farm
  • Tranquil rural location benefitting from its own enclosed private garden
  • Fantastic location for exploring Devon and Cornwall, along with easy access to both the coast and Dartmoor National Park
Property code: OC-TILLI

Bask in the solitude of this beautiful converted barn, set in an idyllic location close to the impressive coastline, picturesque villages and magnificent countryside of Devon and Cornwall. Experience the crystal-clear streams and craggy tors of Dartmoor 17.5 miles to the east, or catch the waves at Bude Beach, 20.5 miles away. Prepare for a day of exploring with an al fresco breakfast in your own enclosed garden, sizzling bacon on the BBQ and listening to birdsong with the paper and your morning coffee.

Accessed along a quiet tarmac path, this property is a real gem tucked within a complex on a working farm. You're sure to feel welcome inside the open-plan living space, lovingly decorated in a country-cottage-style with inviting sofas and cushions. Budding chefs will love the well-equipped kitchen, gathering the family at the table for delicious meals and after-dinner games. Step down to the lower ground floor for the cosy double bedroom and shower room, or head upstairs to the gallery twin bedroom overlooking the dining area, with sloped ceilings and reduced head height. Outside is a patio with a BBQ and a large enclosed lawn, perfect for long leisurely lunches or summer picnics on the grass.

Journey back in time with a trip to Launceston 7 miles away, a Cornish town steeped in history with winding streets, elevated views of the countryside and of course Launceston Castle and its nearby prison. Continue the history theme with a picnic on Dartmoor, discovering stone circles and other remnants that date back to the Bronze Age. Change pace with a traditional pub lunch and local ale in a nearby village, such as Ashwater 3 miles away, or Chapman’s Well, 3.5 miles away.

The barn is set in a peaceful and gorgeous location and is absolutely spotless and well maintained. The beds are comfortable and clean too. There is ample space to park your car and its perfectly placed for unloading your belongings and getting them inside. The furniture is modern and clean too. The barn is handy for Launceston where there are all Read morethe shops and amenities' that you may need, its about 15-20 minutes away. We met the owner briefly and she was lovely and friendly and happy to help. Hide

The cottage was immaculate. Elaine the host is brilliant and a pleasure to talk to. Could not do enough for us. Everything you need is there and more. Great location for getting to anywhere you want in Devon or Cornwall. Beautiful farm and surroundings. I cannot recommend this enough. We will be booking for next year very soon.
