This former cider barn is set on a glorious working farm specialising in restorative farming and is placed within acres of beautiful riverside meadows and woodland, and offers a true escape from everyday life. With a large enclosed garden and walks down to the River Exe, it is an ideal base to explore Devon with four-legged friends. Attached to the owners’ thatched cottage, the property is brimming with charm with its curved cob walls, high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a warming wood burner.
This ancient barn has an airy yet cosy feel inside. Cook up a storm in the spacious kitchen, which is perfect for entertaining with plenty of storage and surface space, together with a large American-style fridge/freezer. The open-plan lounge/diner is a wonderful space in which to relax and unwind after a long and tiring day, with an inviting L-shaped sofa, Smart TV and wood burner for those cosy evenings in. Stepping outside, four-legged friends will delight in the large enclosed lawn area, where you will also find garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ for summer afternoons.
Just 100 yards from the garden is the River Exe, offering fantastic dog walking opportunities. Once you have finished exploring the 38 acres of riverside meadows and woodland that surround the property, pay a visit to the nearby pretty village of Bickleigh (8 miles) where you will find a delightful tearoom and shop, perfect for souvenirs. Stock up on supplies in the nearby town of Tiverton (4 miles), which is also home to a pretty canal offering boats for hire. Further afield, the cathedral city of Exeter (19 miles) is well worth a visit, while the wild and rugged Exmoor National Park (8.5 miles) is perfect for dog walks.
