Tucked at the highest, most secluded point of a private country estate, this barn is reached along a winding woodland path. Vaulted ceilings and big windows flood the living space with light, while outside, wraparound decking frames long valley views and a private hot tub. A short walk away, a communal indoor pool, games room, and outdoor play areas keep everyone occupied, and twenty acres of meadows, streams, and woodland trails are yours to roam.

About Devon
With its vibrant cities, wild moors and picture-perfect beaches – we can see why so many poets and writers, such as Ted Hughes, Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, have been inspired by its stunning landscapes. Chic waterside towns such as Salcombe and Dartmouth appeal to yachties, while Totnes attracts a more alternative crowd. Or head to Exeter with its cathedral and riverside bars and restaurants on the picturesque quay....
