About this property

This delightful and spacious rural barn nestles in a peaceful spot with enclosed garden and wooded area where you can relax in hammocks. Set on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is a stylish base from which to explore the local area.

Perfectly situated on the edge of the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there is much to see and explore including steep ridges, valleys, picturesque villages, ancient features and historic houses. The Cathedral city of Exeter with its array of high street shops, pubs and restaurants is just a short drive away. The world renowned Jurassic Coast and the delightful seaside resorts of Lyme Regis, Seaton, Sidmouth and Exmouth are also within driving distance. Other attractions and places of interest accessible from here include Hembury Fort, Escot Gardens and numerous National Trust properties and gardens, such as Killerton or the delightful Knightshayes with the fabulous Lost Kitchen eatery a stroll away. Step inside this barn and you will find yourself in the useful entrance hallway with plenty of space to hang coats and store boots. You are drawn straight ahead to the lovely light open plan and modern lounge/kitchen/diner with high ceilings adding to the sense of space. The comfortable seating invites you to relax and enjoy a film on the Smart TV. Here you can unwind in style after a day of exploring and the dining area is the perfect venue for a laid back evening meal with room for eight to sit comfortably.
