Situated on the owner’s grounds, 1 mile northwest of the charming village of Northlew, this lovely barn conversion is a perfect year-round getaway for friends or families. Within walking distance of the shop and pub, you’ll be wonderfully secluded from the rush of the modern world in the midst of quintessential Devon countryside. The castle town of Okehampton and Dartmoor National Park are just 8 miles away. 13 miles southeast at South Zeal, on the edge of the moor, lies a 12th century Benedictine Monastery, now a fine pub near a Neolithic standing stone.

The welcoming ambience inside is of open-plan space, light and comfort. A lot of love has gone into this sympathetic conversion of a rustic building. The ground floor has a hallway for wet coats, a spacious king-size double and fresh twin bedrooms. On the first floor, the exposed beams, wood burner, mid-century fabrics and furniture beautifully retain and enhance the country style. The bright kitchen is well-appointed and streamlined. The balcony doors offer a splendid light-source that floods the lounge, and outside there’s a beautiful rattan seating area with sumptuous, elevated views.

There’s so much to do and see all around. Visit the gem that is RHS Rosemoor Gardens (18 miles), Launceston Steam Railway (19 miles) and the imposing Castle Drogo (23 miles). There are stunning coastal towns and beaches within reach in Devon and Cornwall, such as beautiful Bude (23 miles), traditional Clovelly (25 miles) and adorable Appledore (28 miles). Discover the secret Hawker’s Hut at Morwenstow (29 miles) and you’ll never want to leave. Travel 30 miles to find the rugged Hartland peninsular, quay and lighthouse.
