About this property
Escape to an utterly private location for an unforgettable stay at Sweetcombe Barn, a property with dramatic features and breathtaking views. Studded into the hillside 4 miles from the bustling seaside town of Sidmouth, alternate between calming solitude and the excitement of exploring East Devon. Lose yourself to the spectacular Jurassic Coast, dainty villages and scenic walks. On your return, step out onto the elevated decked terrace ready for a BBQ under the stars, before curling up indoors in front of the wood burner.
Attractive and modest outside, you’ll be stunned by the open-plan interior, exposed stonework and high vaulted ceilings of this converted barn. Contemporary yet homely, the downstairs space is warm and inviting with a large kitchen, lounge, and a dining area where you can feast like a king at the long dining table. Accessed by a steep staircase, the mezzanine bedroom overlooking the lounge is furnished with a king-size bed and two singles – take care as the beautiful sloped ceiling and character beams mean reduced head height. Outside, the terrace is just for adults, but children and dogs can play to their heart’s content in the enclosed garden below.
Renowned for its striking beauty, wildlife and rich history, East Devon is full of hidden wonders to discover. With oodles of footpaths on your doorstep, pack a picnic for a day exploring the wonders of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Seek out a cream tea within the charming village of Beer 7 miles away, spot kingfishers along the river by Otterton Mill 10.5 miles away, or change pace with a trip to Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary 5.5 miles away – the residents love a good scratch!
