Property Description

Nestling in a truly un-spoilt area of countryside just a few miles from the spectacular North Devon coastline and the glorious flat sands of Westward Ho, the working farm of Winscott Barton offers visitors the opportunity to experience life on a real working farm. You can be in the thick of things at lambing time or relaxing by one of the lakes, casting a line or simply contemplating the local wildlife, where at night time under a canopy of stars unblemished by city lights, an array of nocturnal creatures including owls, foxes and badgers can be watched as they emerge under the security of darkness. Occupying the wing of the original farmhouse The Barton offers spacious accommodation where families or groups of friends can gather in comfort. The open plan lounge has a lovely timeless appeal retaining many original features. A large corner leather sofa invites you to relax in front of the wood burning stove standing in an impressive natural stone inglenook, the centrepiece of the room. To the rear of the room a dining area furnished in attractive rustic oak creates a perfect opportunity for families to dine together.

Children will love the fact that lambs and sheep will often join them while they help cut the grass!
