140 ACRES CATTLE, SHEEP (LAMBING IN SPRING)
This newly-converted barn conversion has been transformed with much care and attention having been paid to enhance many of the original features, such as exposed stonework and natural beams etc. Situated in a quiet and pretty spot opposite a small 15th century church (with bells, but not rung!) and nearby farmhouses, this barn offers peace and tranquillity with beautiful views across the valley. Only 20 minutes from the beach at Westward Ho! and 30 minutes from Bude, the North Cornwall coast, ideal for surfing, sandy beaches and rock pooling at low tide. Also with the new Taw Bridge in Barnstaple the beaches of Croyde and Putsborough Sands are all easily accessible. Other attractions nearby include walking, golf courses at Torrington and Holsworthy (10 miles), RHS Rosemoor Gardens and Dartington Crystal at Torrington, Clovelly with its steep cobbled steps and pretty harbour, Hartland with its rugged coastline and quay area or various family adventure parks such as The Milky Way or The Big Sheep. For those who wish to stay closer to home, why not enjoy one of the footpaths over the land which leads through woodland down to the River Torridge, and where, by arrangement, you can fish for trout along the owner's 1 mile stretch of the river. Alternatively, see the farm animals (lambing takes place in early Spring), or just sit and enjoy the country views from the conservatory or the enclosed garden.
Extremely well-furnished and benefiting from full oil-fired central heating throughout, the property offers TWO bedrooms: 1 galleried twin (upstairs) with exposed beams and stair gate provided, and 1 double room (downstairs) with TV. The living area is open-plan and spacious and has a woodburner with complimentary basket of logs, TV, DVD, video, and hi-fi.

Lobby area with washing machine and staircase which leads to the upstairs twin. Bathroom with bath, shower over and WC. Kitchen with electric cooker, hob, hood, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave. Bed linen, electricity, and central heating (all year round) included. Towels available for hire.
