Surrounded by picturesque countryside and close to the Jurassic Coast (3.7 miles), this beautiful barn conversion in Colyton on the fringes of the Blackdown Hills National Landscape is the perfect family-friendly escape for exploring the countryside and beaches. One mile through country lane is Medieval Colyton, home to many historic buildings and winding lanes lined with a fantastic selection of local shops, restaurants and tea rooms. Running through miles of unspoilt countryside alongside the River Axe wetlands, take a ride on the quaint Seaton Tramway from Colyton Tram Station a mile away to the seaside of Seaton (3.5 miles) which lies on the edge of the Jurassic Coast. The pretty village of Colyford is nestled in the heart of the Coly Valley, set in East Devon’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, can all be reached within 4.5 miles. The property is within easy reach of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage and Shute Barton National Trust.
Reminiscent of an authentic farmhouse, this property is adorned with delightful country-cottage style décor and gorgeous original features including stone flooring and beautiful beam work. The spacious kitchen with its handy breakfast bar will capture your imagination, whilst the charming dining room, with its 15th-century oak screen, provides the perfect peaceful spot to enjoy a glass of something chilled with the whole family. Seamlessly marrying original, rustic features with sophisticated, homely touches, the beautifully cosy lounge boasts a warming ambience; the roaring wood burner, exposed ceiling beams and stone chimney echo the barn’s rich heritage. Completing the ground floor is a characterful en-suite super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom which features patio doors to the garden and a TV. Upstairs, you’ll find a further three bedrooms, another en-suite super-king-size zip-and-link and two king-size, which all boast TVs and wonderful views to wake up to. An elegant, contemporary family bathroom completes this postcard-perfect retreat.
Outside, lose yourself in the soothing sounds of the trickling stream running through the enclosed garden as you dine alfresco on the decking before star gazing in the clear, dark skies on a fine evening.
