Retreat 45178 – Barnstaple, Devon

There are miles of walks to be enjoyed directly from the property with some exclusive routes on private Estate ground where panoramic views to South Wales Lundy Island and Dartmoor can be admired. You are within walking distance of Challacombe village where you will find a shop/post office and pub but remember to take a torch for the walk back from the pub! Beach lovers will relish the beaches at Combe Martin and Woolacombe which are both within easy reach.

Plus there is much to see in the local area including Exmoor Zoo Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park and Watermouth Castle. Or visit the pretty sister towns of Lynton and Lynmouth often referred to as Little Switzerland with their famous cliff railway. Tucked away up a private lane lies this lovely detached stable conversion which is situated on a 10 000-acre working farm and is bursting with charm and character.

Head up three external steps and enter this delightful property where you are immediately greeted by the light and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with bi-folding doors that open into the enclosed garden. For those cooler evenings light the cosy wood burner and settle in for a snug evening with a feast a bottle of wine and a film on the TV/DVD.

The kitchen which has an electric hob and oven fridge/freezer dishwasher washer/dryer and microwave is a great space for cooking lazy breakfasts or trying out new recipes. Head upstairs to the two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and the second bedroom is a super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be made up as a twin on request). Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom with a bath separate shower and WC.

Venturing outside from the lounge/kitchen/diner is a patio area with outside seating for everyone where you can sit and enjoy the views or release those stresses in the newly fitted wood fired hot tub. You will also find a gas BBQ and outside woodburner ideal for a spot of al fresco dining. Accessed via four steps is an enclosed lawned garden which is great for children and your dogs to play in. The property also features off-road parking for two cars.
