Higher Hill Barn is in a delightful country setting close to the village of Sherford, yet just 2-3 miles from the market town of Kingsbridge and around 10 miles from Salcombe. The popular beach Blackpool Sands, near Dartmouth, is just a 15-20 minute drive away, whilst the many smaller coves along the Start Bay coastline are also easily accessible by car.

This stunning barn conversion is furnished and presented to the very highest, contemporary standards whilst retaining many of its original features and charm. The two-storey accommodation is mostly reverse level with four of the five bedrooms on the ground floor, and the living space above - it offers a superb base for extended families or up to five couples in an idyllic rural setting.

Three of the bedrooms on the ground floor are double rooms, each with an oak King-size bed. There is also a twin bedroom with two oak framed single beds. Each of these bedrooms has a fully-tiled en suite shower room. On the first floor is a bunk bed room with adjacent family bathroom.

On the first floor is a superb open plan living area with high vaulted ceiling and original cross beams, incorporating a beautiful, modern kitchen. The dining area has a large oak table seating ten guests, an ideal room for entertaining. The very spacious living area has two very large sofas, two armchairs, a 48" Smart TV, a wood-burning stove and a Juliet balcony. Tri folding doors lead out to the upper terrace, with a large dining table and chairs for al fresco dining. Also on the first floor is a snug room, offering an additional sitting area with a Smart TV.

The barn is set within a beautifully maintained garden, including a two-tiered lawn and a pond. Also outside is an outbuilding housing a playroom with pool table and table football, plus ample off-road parking on the private drive for 5-6 cars.

The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of south Devon. During the summer season, there are river excursions to Salcombe to see the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay and wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street. Around the South Hams area, there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops, and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of nightlife, including theatres, restaurants, and bars.
