Set within the grounds of the owner’s home yet where privacy is assured, this superb barn offers immaculate accommodation providing you with a memorable holiday home – one you will relish returning to after a day of exploring. The little white town of Bideford is situated 3 miles away with a selection of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Keen walkers can enjoy the traffic-free Tarka Trail or the South West Coast Path. The villages of Instow and Appledore are both 6 miles away and the vast sands at Westward Ho! are just under 6 miles. Other popular attractions include Tapeley Park, the Milky Way and Big Sheep theme parks, Clovelly and RHS Rosemoor Gardens to name but a few.

The lounge/diner, a truly lovely space to unwind after a long day, is warm and welcoming with a contemporary wood burner, comfortable sofa, a chair and a chaise lounge. A wooden toy box houses puzzles and games for all the family, and there is also a Smart TV. The dining area offers space for all to eat together and the well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to rustle up everything from a quick snack, to a light lunch or formal dinner. Heading on down the staircase to the sleeping accommodation, you will find two bedrooms: one king-size with a Smart TV and an en-suite shower room with WC, and a king-size zip-and-link (which can be made into 2’ 6" twin beds on request), again with a Smart TV. Across the hall is the light and airy bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC. Following on is a separate utility room with a washing machine and a tumble dryer and additional storage. From here, you can access the rear courtyard garden.

Outside, there are three separate enclosed areas for you to enjoy, one with a BBQ. The first is the front garden which has a lawn area and seating. At the rear, accessed either through the property or via side external steps, is a rear courtyard garden with a swinging seat and a bench. Lastly, through a secret gate, is the third area accessed via an orangery, an ideal spot to sit and relax with a drink in the evenings or a morning coffee. You’ll find pots of seasonal fruits and herbs plus a walk-in fruit cage with blueberries and other seasonal fruits, plus a large lawn area – ideal for ball games etc.
