About this property
Converted Barn On Thatched Devon Longhouse Grounds At The Foot Of Rolling Hills.
The Little Barn is situated in a yard in front of Lower Court, a medieval Devon Longhouse. The Barn was converted some time ago, but has recently been updated. A number of period features have been retained. The barn has a tiled floor downstairs and has a pine floor upstairs with an oak balcony. There are chairs and a table on the balcony. The Little Barn has gas central heating, digital TV and a washing machine. Wi-fi is available. There is a table with chairs in the garden, as well as comfortable loungers. Nearby activities include walking, fishing, golfing, swimming, riding, tennis, sailing and much more. Situated in the heart of East Devon with the Jurassic Coast and Ottery St Mary on your doorstep, it is a haven for walkers. Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks are not too far for a visit and Torbay is a similar distance. You will be spoilt for choice when deciding how to spend each day.

About the host
Hosted by Elaine Paget
I retired several years ago and enjoy welcoming guests and their dogs to this beautiful part of Devon.
Why they chose this property
We have lived here since 1980 and it is perfect for a rural lifestyle with varied walks such as along the nearby river Otter, over the cliffs on the Jurassic coast just 5 miles away and further afield, areas such as Exmoor and Dartmoor. It is, however, not completely isolated, with lovely towns not too far away.
What makes this property unique
Being able to access good walks over the road to the river Otter and up behind the property is great for dog owners. The Little Barn is in the curtelage of a 16th century thatched Devon Long House with a yard in front and three other very small converted barns. The Little Barn has the advantage of a large garden and gets the morning sun on the balcony.
