Enjoying a secluded position close to the border with Cornwall, this spacious and lovingly converted barn has spectacular views of the Devon countryside, and offers comfortable accommodation for a large family or a group of friends with a dog. The property is set on a 450-acre working farm with 74 acres of beautiful woodland for you and the dog to explore, and is close to some of Devon’s most popular beauty spots including Dartmoor National Park (6 miles) and Roadford Lake (6 miles), with plenty of dog-friendly pubs to discover in some of the quaint villages found locally.
The focal point of this welcoming property, which retains original features including exposed beams and stonework, is the large lounge/diner where you can get together over a meal and chat about the day’s adventures. You can prepare a delicious meal in the stylish kitchen which has additional dining space for four guests. You can also relax in the snug, which features a couple of sofas and a warming wood burner. The cottage boasts five cosy bedrooms and a fantastic roundhouse – here you can play table tennis or admire the breathtaking country views. There’s an open garden outside, where you can unwind and enjoy a BBQ.
