The Barn at Lower Longcombe

About this property

Gently nestled into the rolling hills of the Longcombe Valley, this beautifully designed grand-designed barn conversion sits on 20 acres and is the perfect retreat for those looking for something unique. Longcombe itself perches near the charming town of Totnes, thus offering picture-postcard walking trails and the ear-teasing sounds of crackling twigs underfoot moments from your doorstep, adding a sublime backdrop for your idyllical Devon getaway. The quaint village exudes a timeless charm with its picturesque landscapes, enveloping visitors in a sense of tranquillity.
