Hayloft At Higher Hodges Farm

This reverse-level barn conversion stands opposite the farmhouse at Higher Hodges Farm, reached along a long driveway, and is arranged to suit two people on a quiet break in North Devon. The ground floor holds the double bedroom, which has a walk-in wardrobe, a Smart TV and room for a travel cot, along with the bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over plus a WC with its own tiling and lighting.

Stairs lead up to an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space, where a window seat looks out across the surrounding fields towards the sea. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, and the lounge has central heating from an air source heat pump along with a second Smart TV. A dining table seats two for meals in or a leisurely breakfast before heading out.

Outside, a covered porch houses a utility cupboard with washing machine and tumble dryer. A picket-fenced path runs around the side of the property and up a short flight of steps to an enclosed patio with garden furniture and a charcoal barbecue, ideal for eating outdoors. Beyond this, a lawn leads down to a small orchard, useful for exercising dogs, though a pond in the farmhouse grounds opposite has a safety net and children and pets should still be supervised there.

Ample off-road parking is provided, and the property has internet access. Up to two dogs can stay, with an additional charge, and there is a stairgate fitted at the top of the stairs. The village shop and pub at Berrynarbor are around 1.5 miles away, with further shops and services at Combe Martin, and the nearest beach is about a mile from the door.
