This two-bedroom barn conversion, set in a remote location outside the village of South Molton, is a wonderful retreat for a family or two couples plus three canine companions. With ample outdoor space, it’s an idyllic base for those seeking tranquillity and scenic countryside walks straight from the door.
The interior brims with modern comfort and countryside charm. Exposed beams and oak flooring sweep through the open-plan living area and it won’t be long before you’re relaxing on the comfy sofa with a film on the TV and Fido at your feet. A wood burner keeps things toasty warm on chillier days but when the weather is good, push open the patio doors and let your pup run free in the vast garden. When mealtime beckons, step through to the contemporary kitchen and feast at the table seating four people. There’s room in the kitchen to dish up a meal for your faithful friend too. At bedtime, retire upstairs and choose between the double bedroom and the twin bedroom. Both feature vaulted ceilings and wardrobe space, and the double room also boasts floor-to-ceiling glass windows so you can gaze at the starry sky from the comfort of your bed. In the morning, start the day with a refreshing bath or shower before stepping outside. Enjoy a game of fetch with your pup on the extensive lawn or take it easy at the patio table and soak up those sweeping countryside views.
Your hounds will love the countryside walks from the doorstep. But for a change of terrain, pull on your hiking boots and sniff out adventure at Exmoor National Park (10 miles). Here Fido can scamper over moors and splash in the lakes while you spot red deer, wild ponies, and cattle. For shops, restaurants, and cafes the market town of South Molton is 6 miles away.
