The Apple Barn

About this property

With far reaching views that span across fields and countryside of the Axe Valley, Apple Barn is beautiful barn conversion situated within the owner's 17th century, grade II listed farmstead. Bordering Devon, Dorset and Somerset with Lyme Regis and the Jurassic Coast just 5 miles away, this is a perfect base for exploring. Step up to the decking and through patio doors into the beautiful open plan living room, with solid oak floors and an elegant sweeping open tread staircase. The room is divided into a comfortable relaxing space with two sofas arranged around a wood burning stove (Starter pack only for fire provided), a dining space centrally positioned with a country kitchen at the far end, equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. A step leads down to a spacious, ground floor king-size bedroom with large patio doors, a TV and en-suite shower room. On the first floor there are two beautifully dressed en-suite bedrooms, a zip link, twin room that can be joined together as a super-king bed and a double room. Outside, a large decked patio looks out across the Axe Valley and is equipped with tables and chairs. There is a charcoal BBQ available (charcoal not provided) and plenty of parking. A dog is welcome and there are plenty of countryside walks right on the doorstep, however your pet must be kept under control at all times due to livestock. The town of Axminster is just 2 miles away, which hosts a weekly market and offers a number of supermarkets and the popular River Cottage Canteen. River Cottage HQ is just outside the town. For days at the beach Lyme Regis and Charmouth offer a fine variety of good restaurants, pubs and shops and an opportunity to enjoy the magnificent coastal scenery from the South West Coastal Path. Challenge yourself for a walk to the top of the famous Golden Cap, Dorset's heights point. For little ones, the Axe Valley Nature Reserve can be found just outside of Axminster, and the famous Donkey Sanctuary near Sidmouth is a must visit for any age. Apple Barn is your Jurassic Coast rural getaway at any time of year.
