Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
It’s hard to imagine that this beautifully curated home was once a barn, but looking at its tall beamed ceilings and apex ceiling, you’ll soon be able to find traces of its history alongside its stylish decor. Step into the ground floor entrance hall and into the large farmhouse kitchen – the ideal spot to begin mornings with a hearty breakfast. We love the tiled floors and blue cabinetry here – not to mention the Butler’s sink – as well as the glossy marble countertops that are sure to inspire even the most reluctant of home cooks. On this same floor you’ll find the bedroom, making a bold statement with its red-painted beams, wood-panelled walls and large, comfy bed inviting a peaceful night’s sleep, while the bathroom – on the ground floor too – beckons relaxing wake-ups with its rainfall shower. Upstairs, the living room is a bright, enticing space with its scarlet sofa and chairs, as well as its large glass doors leading out onto a private enclosed patio. Whether you’re enjoying alfresco meals here or indulging in a celebratory sundowner, this is the ideal spot to catch some rays and luxuriate in your natural surroundings with its views of... the neighbouring farmland. Outside of your home, you’ll find a selection of restaurants, bars and shops within half a mile of your home, while Croyde Beach – known for its surfing – is a four-minute drive or just over twenty minutes away on foot.

About Woolacombe
Undulating hills rise up behind Woolacombe, creating a verdant backdrop that makes Woolacombe Beach one of the prettiest in Devon. In fact, the bay, which lies at the bottom of a valley, is often described as the best beach in Britain, with visitors able to surf, kayak and stand-up paddle board in its waters. Follow the coastal path that runs along the beach to spot birdlife and seals bobbing in...
