We are delighted to be able to offer this wonderful property, new for 2012 and perfect for extended families.

South Barn is an imposing, tastefully converted and modernised home from home, retaining its rustic charm and ideal for extended families and meeting up with old friends.  The peaceful hamlet of Huccombe is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is just a short distance from the coast and the fishing village of Beesands while its central location allows easy access to the South West Coastal Path and the picturesque estuaries of Salcombe and Dartmouth.  The barn, which dates back to the 1850's is set in two acres of grounds with a south facing garden with patio, table tennis and barbecue, an enclosed courtyard garden and a sunny two acre fenced field with two ponds.  Arranged in a reverse level style to take advantage of the views the barn features a wonderful spacious lounge and snug/TV room, divided by a shared woodburner stove.  There is a large dining area adjoining the kitchen with seating for 12 which is a great place for those noisy reunions. Downstairs there are 4 large bedrooms with an additional guest suite having a double and a twin bedroom, so 6 bedrooms in total.  The bustling market town of Kingsbridge at the head of the Salcombe estuary is a short drive away and the many attractions of this popular holiday area are easily accessible by car.  The owners also provide a welcome cup of tea and cake tray and can arrange home cooked meal deliveries by prior arrangement.  Please Note that the sleeping accommodation is best suited for families and family reunions.
