Set close to the village of Swimbridge in North Devon, this lovely property is surrounded by rolling green hills and peaceful open countryside. This charming stone barn conversion offers a tranquil yet convenient base from which to explore the area. On the outskirts of Exmoor, visitors will enjoy the many opportunities to explore the National Park and perhaps try some fishing, cycling and horse riding, while the cottage itself provides a welcoming place to return to.
One of just two properties overlooking a quiet courtyard, this cottage is furnished in an inviting, country-house style. The attractive first-floor lounge has a feature fireplace and beamed ceiling and the fully fitted kitchen on the ground floor also has many original features. There are two pretty bedrooms – a spacious double on the ground floor and a cosy single on the first floor as well as a good-sized bathroom. Strollover to your private, fenced garden, which is 20 metres from the cottage, to relax in the sunshine. Look out over the scenic river and keep watch for wildlife on the decking area over the river.
The property is on the edge of the village of Swimbridge and just a couple of hundred metres from an excellent pub which serves food – perfect for those evenings when you don’t fancy cooking. For nature lovers, there are plenty of walks from the doorstep and for those wishing to head to the coast, the golden sands and surfing beaches of Saunton and Croyde are both within 15 miles. Alternatively, head up the Atlantic Highway to explore the charming fishing villages of Instow and Appledore (14 miles) or visit the many shops, cafes and restaurants in the market town of Barnstaple, all within a 4-mile drive. You can also pick up the Tarka Trail from here and walk or cycle for miles. Or, for a bit of a city jaunt, pick up the Tarka Line train from Barnstaple that wends its way through glorious rural scenery to Exeter.
