Overview
Property code: 47237

One of two, tastefully restored, Grade II listed barn conversions with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, oak flooring and a fabulous games room and cinema area.

Only two miles from the Stannary town of Ashburton with its well-regarded restaurants, independent food stores and traditional pubs, this luxurious barn conversion boasts spacious open-plan accommodation making it the perfect destination for groups of friends seeking a sociable base from which to explore the delights of South Devon and Dartmoor. With direct walking access onto Dartmoor, stretch the legs with an invigorating hike through the tranquil countryside. Take a tour of the local gin distillery and sample the wares in the tasting room or head to Bovey Tracey to discover Dartmoor Whiskey.

Set in a commanding rural location, your holiday home has been designed to maximise the spectacular countryside views. Impressive open-plan accommodation allows guests to socialise and spend time together whether cooking up a storm in the elegant kitchen, sharing a convivial meal at the dining table or playing air hockey and snooker in the games area. Relax in the lounge area on one of the comfortable sofas as you chat about the day's adventures or head to the cinema and watch your favourite film on the large projection screen. Separated from the games room by a unique storage unit is a fantastic super king-size bedroom with an additional single bed, featuring an enclosed working waterwheel and en-suite shower room. Head downstairs where you will find an impressive glass-fronted corridor leading to a further three well-appointed bedrooms, all with en-suites. Outside is a generous garden with a large lawn ideal for garden games or spreading out a blanket for sunbathing. In the evening fire up the BBQ and enjoy an al fresco meal at the seating area.

Loved the fact that there were paper towels, dish washer tabs, washing up liquid, loo rolls etc provided. Lovely plush towels too, hair dryers in all rooms, makes such a difference.

A lovely week away, with a few minor faults which could be easily fixed.
