Nestled in the North Devon countryside this tastefully decorated detached barn conversion is the perfect retreat for families and friends with your own tennis court and a children's play area.

Occupying a rural position in the beautiful North Devon countryside, this spacious property is ideal for friends, families and their four-legged friends. With walks from your doorstep, you and your canine companions can soak up the views, immerse yourselves in the tranquillity and enjoy some much-needed rest and relaxation. Should you need anything, the historic market town of Barnstaple is only 5 miles away, with its shops, eateries and amenities.

Sympathetically renovated, this conversion combines original features with contemporary design to create a stylish home for you to relax in. On entering, discard your outdoor gear in the hall before heading into the large farmhouse kitchen. Here, you have everything you’ll need to prepare a hearty meal that can be enjoyed in the adjoining dining room. Of an evening, head down the steps into the lounge, which offers sofas around the TV as well as facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to make the most of the views. Completing the ground floor are two bedrooms and en-suites. The remaining bedrooms are on the first floor, all with en-suite shower rooms or bathrooms. Outside, there is a sunny patio for al fresco dining, and access to a games room, a children’s play area and private tennis courts.

Within 20 miles, there are miles of sandy beaches on offer such as Saunton, Croyde, Woolacombe and Westward Ho!, with dog-friendly sections. You can also feel the wind in your hair (or fur) on the South West Coast Path. Heading 20 miles in the opposite direction, you can discover the rugged natural beauty of Exmoor National Park, with plenty of walking routes available. Or why not head to historic town Great Torrington (9 miles) where you can enjoy walks on the Common or peruse the many independent shops/eateries?

Lovely cottage in a pretty village. The cottage has lots of space and it was great to all sit round the dining table having a meal and not feeling cramped. We were lucky with the weather and had a bbq one of the evenings the games room was used as well.

Excellent property for extended family gatherings. Car required to get to shops, only 5-10 mins away. There are a few slate steps from the kitchen to the sitting room , so may not be ideal for people who have mobility issues or small children, although we had an 18month in the party as long as she was watched she was fine.
