  • Detached barn conversion property situated on a 350-acre farm
  • Tranquil rural location benefitting from its own enclosed private garden
  • Fantastic location for exploring Devon and Cornwall, along with easy access to both the coast and Dartmoor National Park
Property code: OC-TILLI

This property enjoys the best of both worlds: both coast and country, as it is situated in rural Devon, between Dartmoor National Park to the east, and Cornwall’s Atlantic coast to the west. The area immediately surrounding the property not only has a large number of picturesque villages to explore, but also offers a range of attractions, including the Tamar Otter Centre, and Roadford Reservoir. The property’s proximity to the Cornish coast is a real draw for visitors, whether they fancy spending lazy days on Bude’s sandy beaches, exploring the pretty fishing village of Boscastle, or treading in the footsteps of the legendary King Arthur in the atmospheric town of Tintagel.

This charming barn conversion property is reached via a quiet tarmac lane, giving the property a lovely secluded feel. Once inside, the main living area is a welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which the owners have thoughtfully dressed in a homely cottage-style with inviting sofa seating, plump cushions, and exposed beams. A Smart TV, DVD player and Bluetooth speakers provide entertainment, whilst the well-equipped kitchen area offers everything that guests will need to make themselves feel at home including an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and coffee machine. One of the bedrooms, a restful room located on the lower ground floor has twin beds which can be made up as a super king-size bed on request. The shower room with WC is also on this floor. The second bedroom is a galleried room with a king-size bed and is accessed via stairs from the living area. The location of this room in the eaves of the property means that there is a sloping ceiling and some reduced head height.

Outside, there is a garden to the rear of the property which has a patio area with a BBQ and seating, beyond which is an enclosed lawn area with views over the surrounding fields.

The barn is set in a peaceful and gorgeous location and is absolutely spotless and well maintained. The beds are comfortable and clean too. There is ample space to park your car and its perfectly placed for unloading your belongings and getting them inside. The furniture is modern and clean too. The barn is handy for Launceston where there are all Read morethe shops and amenities' that you may need, its about 15-20 minutes away. We met the owner briefly and she was lovely and friendly and happy to help. Hide

The cottage was immaculate. Elaine the host is brilliant and a pleasure to talk to. Could not do enough for us. Everything you need is there and more. Great location for getting to anywhere you want in Devon or Cornwall. Beautiful farm and surroundings. I cannot recommend this enough. We will be booking for next year very soon.
