2 Bed in Exminster (oc-h28725)
Nestled on the tranquil outskirts of a pretty village, in beautiful Devon countryside, this wonderful two-bedroom detached barn conversion provides the ultimate cosy, relaxing hideaway perfect for a restful break. Famous for its marshes populated by an abundance of migratory birds, Exminster is a long village situated along the road between Exeter and Dawlish. Enjoy a pleasant circular walk around the fascinating landscape of RSPB Exminster and Powderham Marshes 1 mile away to spot flocks of geese, ducks and waders. For a spot of retail therapy, explore the vibrant city of Exeter 5 miles from the property, boasting a plethora of shops, restaurants and cafes centred around the grand, gothic Exeter Cathedral. Take a stroll or cycle along the Exe Estuary trail (9 miles) from Dawlish to Exmouth, passing through the pretty, picturesque villages of Starcross, Topsham and Lympstone.
Through the entrance hall, you’re welcomed into a spacious living room, complete with a period fireplace housing a feature wood burner, a TV and CD player as well as plenty of comfortable seating. The rear of the cottage opens onto a light and bright open-plan kitchen/diner featuring statement ceiling beams, with a well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen wrapping around a kitsch wooden farmhouse table and chairs. There is also a handy utility room housing a washer/dryer on this level. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious double bedroom with a high ceiling and exposed beams, plus a second bedroom, also with high ceilings, featuring three single beds and a characterful low window.

Through the back door in the kitchen, you’ll find a sunny decked terrace leading onto a gently sloping lawn, enclosed garden by a low fence with superb uninterrupted views of the coarse fishing lake, foliage and hillside beyond, providing a picturesque backdrop for dining outdoors.
One unique feature of the barn is that from the very private decking and pretty enclosed rear garden area, guests are just a fishing rod cast away from a number of coarse fishing lakes where anglers can arrange locally to fish the well stocked lakes for Carp, Tench, Roach etc. and surrounded by beautiful countryside.
