Exminster

Exminster is a village in South Devon, described in property marketing as lying near Exeter. One available property here is Luccombe Barn, a detached two-bedroom barn conversion sleeping up to five guests, with one dog welcome. Inside, a living room centres on a period fireplace with a wood burner, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area retains ceiling beams and a farmhouse table. A utility room with washer/dryer sits on the ground floor alongside the kitchen, which is equipped with an electric range cooker, dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine.

Upstairs, a double bedroom with exposed beams and high ceilings is paired with a triple room fitted with three single beds and a low characterful window. The family bathroom provides both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Outside, a decked terrace leads to an enclosed lawn with views across a coarse fishing lake and the hillside beyond, and private parking for two cars is included. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate can be arranged, making the property practical for families with young children.
