2 Bed Cottage in Kings Nympton

About this property

Situated 10 miles from Exmoor National Park and within easy reach of some of the most attractive corners of North Devon coast and countryside, this reverse-level barn offers a small family or group of friends a peaceful place to withdraw from modern life. Open-plan living areas, filled with an abundance of light and framed by vaulted ceilings, create an inviting atmosphere, which is complemented by the mature orchard begging to be explored by you, the little ones and your four-pawed friends.

Showcasing wooden flooring and fresh, modern furnishings throughout, a creative use of space with contemporary design features, there is so much to catch the eye here. Two spacious en-suite bedrooms - both with super-king beds- stand off the ground floor hallway, with a galleried area at the top of the stairs leading to an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner area. Thoughtfully apportioned, it invites social gatherings and a sense of distance at the same time, ideal for those who want to be left in peace to read by the wood burner or set the table while dinner cooks in the oven. A beautiful mature orchard sits opposite the barn, a place to roam and recharge.

Exmoor National Park (10 miles) is home to an astonishing array of wildlife, its dramatic moors and woodland crisscrossed by umpteen footpaths and trails. Grab essentials and a pub lunch in Umberleigh (1 mile), or for something more substantial, the bustling towns of Barnstaple and South Molton (both 10 miles) have pannier markets. The Tarka Trail (10 miles) is always a hit with visiting walkers and cyclists, while the popular beaches at Woolacombe, Westward Ho! and Croyde all lie within 20 miles of the barn.
