The Old Barn 

The Old Barn

Dating back to the 18th century, The Old Barn was once used as a cattle shelter and granary/feed store, standing untouched for over 50 years. Lovingly restored between 2021 and 2023, we were able to take full advantage of the size and aspect of this stone shippon to create a peaceful retreat for couples, transforming it into a comfortable home whilst preserving its historic charm.

The beautifully designed upstairs open-plan living space features a vaulted ceiling that echoes the barn’s original roof structure, complete with replicas of the old scissor beams. This sense of openness creates a relaxing and inviting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. The space includes a comfortable seating area and a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area, ensuring everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Throughout the barn, modern comforts blend seamlessly with characterful details. Central heating upstairs and underfloor heating on the ground floor provide warmth and luxury. The spacious ground-floor bedroom boasts a striking vaulted ceiling with oak beams, an exposed stone wall, and a tiled floor with underfloor heating, offering a cozy and stylish retreat.

Perched in an elevated position, The Old Barn enjoys breathtaking views across Dartmoor and beyond, making it a truly special place to stay.

The ground floor features a spacious and elegantly designed bedroom, complete with a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone wall, and underfloor heating for year-round comfort. The beautiful wooden super king bed, fitted with a luxurious memory foam mattress and dressed in Egyptian cotton bedding, promises a restful night's sleep. Antique furniture and a charming chaise longue add to the room’s timeless appeal.
Adjacent to the bedroom, the bathroom features a freestanding corner bath, large walk-in shower and a beautifully tiled floor with underfloor heating—perfect for a spa-like retreat.
The entrance hall includes a convenient utility space and an elegant oak staircase leading to the upstairs living area.

Upstairs Living Space

The upstairs open plan living area is a true highlight, with its vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and many original features. The spacious design offers a perfect blend of welcoming warmth with a feeling of old world charm, perfect for relaxation and enjoying each other’s company. 
The seating area, which features a comfortable sofa, smart HD TV and electric feature fire, looks out onto a large upper deck with glass balustrade which is accessible through the granary doors. 

A room divider separates this area from the fully equipped kitchen and dining area, with electric hob, dishwasher and dining area, ideal for everything from leisurely breakfasts to intimate evening meals.

Upper Deck, Below Deck & Patio

The spacious upper deck, enclosed by a sleek glass balustrade, is designed for both relaxation and alfresco dining. Accessible through the granary doors, it features comfortable sun loungers and outdoor dining facilities, perfect for soaking up the sun while admiring the stunning views of Dartmoor and our peaceful fields, where sheep, geese, and hens graze.
Bathed in early morning summer sunlight, the deck faces west, offering guests the perfect vantage point to witness spectacular sunsets.
