About this property
An idyllic barn conversion boasting homely traditional features blended with stylish contemporary charm
Enjoy uninterrupted, far-reaching countryside views across rural Devon from almost every window
Cosy up and unwind to the crackle of the roaring wood burner on those chillier evenings
This impressive barn conversion, set in beautiful East Devon, within 4 miles of the Jurassic coast, is a perfect retreat for a family or friends planning to explore the surrounding countryside and beaches. Full of character, the property sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms and has far-reaching rural views from every window. It is just 1 mile from the delightful small town of Colyton, with its historic buildings, independent shops and excellent eateries. The seaside at Seaton is within 3.5 miles.
The barn’s original features include exposed beams and stone flooring that frame the charming country-style interior. A wood burner adds a cosy touch to the welcoming lounge, with comfortable seating. The spacious kitchen has a handy breakfast bar, while the dining room features a fine 15th-century oak screen. The ground floor houses an en-suite super-king-size bedroom which can be made up as a twin on request, benefitting from patio doors to the garden. Upstairs, find an elegant, contemporary bathroom and three further bedrooms: another super-king-size zip-and-link with an en-suite, and two king-size. Please be aware of steps into the barn entrance, with more on the ground floor. Outside, an unfenced stream runs through the enclosed garden, with a patio and outdoor furniture.
Head to Colyton’s characterful old railway station for a wonderful ride on the quaint Seaton Tramway. It runs alongside the River Axe wetlands before arriving in Seaton on the edge of the Jurassic Coast. There’s fun for all ages at the Jurassic-themed adventure golf course, and safe swimming from the pebble beach. Take the East Devon Way to explore the beautiful Coly Valley with pretty villages such as Colyford, and visit the celebrated Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth (7 miles).

Mrs Sterkenburg
The owners were very friendly and welcoming, every trying was thought of and well presented. The property was also super clean and in good condition. The cottage was perfect for our stay. Good sized and well equipped kitchen, lovely dining room and a lounge with wood burner. With the four generously sized double bedrooms (two en-suites and one family bathroom), it was perfect for our group. We loved the quiet location with access to a public footpath right from the farm itself. The coast is a short drive away. Can easily walk to local pubs too. Perfect for a long weekend or week long escape.

Stayed here for a long weekend with 4 generations of family including 1 with reduced mobility , the downstairs bedroom and ensuite was perfect for him. All the bedrooms are very large with plenty of storage and lovely comfortable beds. We was a large group and it never felt crowded. The kitchen has every utensil you could need and there was plenty of plates, glasses etc. The property is rural but not far from the lovely village of Colyton with a well stocked shop. The welcome cream tea and wine went down a treat thank you Margaret and Brian for going above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed for a perfect weekend.
