A fabulous blend of the rustic and contemporary, this barn-conversion property is awash with period features and stylish design details. The grounds extend to 1 acre, offering plenty of space for adults, children, and four-legged guests to relax, play, and enjoy al fresco dining. The area surrounding the property is perfect for enjoying walks with your dogs, whilst the village of Bickleigh, 2 miles away, is a picturesque spot which straddles the River Exe.
It is clear from the moment that you arrive at this property that the owners have spent a great deal of time and care in creating a stylish holiday retreat. Large windows, beamed ceilings, and the original threshing wheel ensure that the whole property is filled with character, as does the cosy wood burner and comfy seating in the lounge. Glass doors lead from the hallway through to the kitchen which has been beautifully finished and offers a breakfast-bar seating area as well as a dining table seating six. The AGA oven is a lovely traditional touch, but don’t worry if you aren’t familiar with them, as this model includes a built-in electric oven. Open-tread wooden stairs lead to the first floor, where all three bedrooms have their own TV and the two super king-size rooms each boast an en-suite shower. The main bathroom, meanwhile, is a gorgeous sanctuary-like room with a sumptuous slipper bath: the ideal way to end a busy day of exploring.
The village of Bickleigh, 2 miles from the property, is a surprisingly well-appointed place, as well as being a pretty, picturesque part of the world. An arched bridge spans the River Exe and is said to be the inspiration behind the song Bridge Over Troubled Water. The village also boasts an 18th-century mill which has been converted to house an eclectic range of shops and a dog-friendly restaurant.
