Property Description

Steeped in history this attractive stone barn dating back to the 1700's was once as its name suggests a grain barn, positioned within the grounds of a medieval manor house, in the heart of the Devon countryside. The open stone walls and original beams provide glimpses into the past life of this lovely cottage, that has undergone careful restoration by the owner. Traditionally furnished with colourful walls, pretty fabrics and red stone floors the cottage has a very homely atmosphere and would suit anyone seeking a relaxing peaceful escape from a hectic city lifestyle. The open plan lounge/diner leads through into a spacious country kitchen with Belfast sink and all the modern comforts such as dishwasher and fridge freezer.
