The Farmhouse at Hansford Barton

About this property

Indulge in the surroundings of this enchanting escape, where a plethora of recreational options await, a short meander from your front door. Feel the crackle of twigs underfoot whilst exploring the charming footpaths and bridle paths close by, many of which envelop the glimmering River Taw. Explore nearby attractions such as RHS Rosemoor (13 miles) where half an eye on the seasonal events will be sure to add something different to the family day out. Nature lovers can venture to Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks where you can hike amongst a range of wildlife including otters, hazel dormice and cattle, adding to the extraordinary range of chirping birds overhead, each just 20 miles in opposite directions. Beachgoers are also more than catered for with the famous North Devon Coast just 25 miles away, with its superb golden sands and turquoise waters, alongside fine local eateries suited to all tastes.

Stepping into this wonderfully spacious home, you will immediately find yourself in the chic opening hallway, setting the standard with a blend of original exposed beams mixed with contemporary style, within this traditionally styled farmhouse. The first entertaining space is the homely lounge area where guests can soak into comfortable sofas in which encompass the Smart TV and warming wood burner. A perfect room to unwind with the combination of crackling logs on the fire along with your favourite tipple after a day of Devon adventures. Adjacent to the lounge is the formal dining room which wraps around nicely leading you into the open-plan kitchen/diner. A kitchen combined with a utility which prides itself on a traditional aura whilst still housing all those appliances needed for a stress-free stay. Guests will find the breakfast table in this open-plan space, an ideal spot to sit and relax with your morning cuppa whilst planning the day’s events. Completing the ground floor is a downstairs WC just off the kitchen/diner. When the night draws and it’s time for bed, take leave to your choice of six upstairs bedrooms. The bedrooms are made up offering one super-king, one king-size, two super-king zip-and-link beds, which can be made into two singles upon request, and finally two double beds. Two bedrooms provide the added luxury of en-suites, whilst there is also a family bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC. All rooms offer tremendous space and plenty of clothing storage.

Heading outside from the kitchen/diner will bring guests to the enclosed garden, which encircles the home. Whilst being as spacious as it is, it still provides a gated entrance with surrounding hedging allowing those four-pawed friends to roam with peace of mind. Guests will also be happy to see a mixed range of both comfortable and dining seating from which to enjoy the roaring fire pit area, exclusive access of outdoor games such as ping pong, badminton, croquet sets, and of course your own bubbling hot tub. A fantastic space to unwind with a Devonshire sunset and cider, or simply relax under a star-lit sky.
