3 Bed in Challacombe (oc-s45342)

This beautiful converted barn built in 1830 with far-reaching countryside views, situated in the heart of the Exmoor National Park, is ideal for families and friends seeking a restful rural retreat with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The local pub at Challacombe is well worth a visit, but be sure to book ahead to eat. There are plenty of sandy beaches for buckets and spades or water sports at Woolacombe and Saunton, or explore the hidden coves at Lee Bay and Woody Bay, all within 20 miles. Must-visit experiences suitable for all ages include Exmoor Zoo and Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, within 10 miles, and, further afield, the magnificent Watermouth Castle, less than 20 miles away. Alternatively, head to the pretty sister towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, only 12 miles away, which are often referred to as Little Switzerland with their famous cliff railway.


This attractive property, set over two floors, has a welcoming and spacious feel with contemporary furnishings and styling for a memorable stay. There are two bedrooms and both bathrooms on the ground floor, adding flexibility to your sleeping arrangements. Enter into the downstairs hallway and immediately on your left is a chic wet room with a shower and WC. Continue through the country-style wooden doors into an inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which is the social heart of this lovely home. At the end of a day exploring the local Devon attractions, you can sink into the sumptuous sofas and relive the day’s adventures over a lazy afternoon tea or enjoy playing board games. In the evenings, bring drinks and snacks and enjoy a family film night courtesy of the Smart TV. When it is time to eat, get cooking in the chic kitchen area which has all the appliances you need to make meal preparation a breeze. Gather at the dining table to enjoy unhurried meals and plan your next day of activities. Sleep soundly in two attractive downstairs bedrooms; both are king-size with ample storage. A sleek family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC completes the ground floor features. Head upstairs to find an impressive super-king-size bedroom which boasts built-in wardrobes and a skylight window that affords delightful views across the countryside. Please note that the upstairs has a sloping ceiling.


Wander outside and unwind in the lovely garden, which is set over two levels. Fire up the BBQ or outdoor wood burner with cooking facilities and relax on plenty of seating, making this the perfect spot for al fresco dining. While you are waiting for dinner to cook, enjoy some family fun playing table tennis. For your convenience, there is private parking for three medium-sized cars.
