Guests looking for a large place to host a family gathering or event will find this spacious property ticks all the boxes. Set on a private lane surrounded by fields, the five-bedroom converted barn offers the charm of a farmhouse with all the modern amenities we’ve all come to rely on. Thoughtful touches like the large boot room with hanging space, and the open barn with table-tennis and room to store bikes/surfboards, will ensure the family holiday goes without a hitch.
The vast open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling window is the heart of the home and guests can gather at the long dining table or relax on the corner sofas to catch up at the end of the day. Kids can retreat to the separate snug with more sofas and a TV, and everyone will want a go on the pool table. Meanwhile, dogs will be in canine heaven trotting around the tiered grassy lawns while you fire up the brick-built BBQ for tea.
With all that countryside on your doorstep, you can turf everyone out of bed and straight into the great outdoors. For a change of scenery, head into Dartmoor, from 3 miles away, and explore the beautiful forests, moorlands and craggy tors there. Sticklepath is your closest village, 2 miles from the house, which has a handful of shops and a pub. Once you’re fully stocked, pack a picnic and take the tribe to Okehampton Castle, 7 miles away, to enjoy lunch in the scenic medieval ruins before heading into town for a browse in the Victorian shopping arcade.
