The property
Countryside views from this converted barn which provides character-filled accommodation just over a mile from the town of Holsworthy, in the heart of the North Devon countryside.
This barn is perfect for those who enjoy countryside views but want easy access to the town.
There are two lovely bright bedrooms on the first floor along with a family bathroom.
Downstairs there is a kitchen/dining area and a separate lounge with doors leading out to the garden area which is perfect to get some countryside air while enjoying a cool drink.
Surrounded by rolling fields and wooded valleys and situated between the beautiful National Parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor, the market town of Holsworthy caters for all your amenities along with a lovely park area and leisure centre.
A trip to one of the nearby beaches is a great day out and just over the border into Cornwall you will find Bude and Widemouth Bay both having soft sandy beaches ideal for sun worshippers, dedicated sand castle builders or try your hand at surfing the white waves.
For the more energetic, the Tarka Trail offers miles of safe walking or cycling or maybe a round of golf or a countryside horse ride are on your list of wishes.
A picnic at one of the National Parks offers some fabulous scenery with rugged moorland and hidden valleys.
With the owners' property close by and a sister cottage, also available to rent, this is an ideal base to explore this part of Devon.
