Nestled between the charming coastal villages of Maidencombe and Babbacombe, this award-winning home invites you to an idyllic retreat in the heart of South Devon. And with its status as a site of ‘National Importance’ from English Heritage, this is a wonderful place to connect with the historic beauty of the English countryside.
Formerly the barn of a 15th-century Devon longhouse, the owners have sensitively restored this space to honour its heritage whilst providing luxurious comfort. The result is a cosy and relaxing space – perfect for enjoying the slow pace of rural living. Step outside and you’ll find the garden sets the tone for a truly magical stay. And whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning under the trees, cooking a delicious meal in the kitchen or soaking in the roll-top bath, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own.
Located within the conservation area of Barton, you’ll find a wonderful selection of local shops within walking distance, while the glistening beaches of Torquay are less than ten-minute drive away.
