A perfectly positioned 17th Century upside-down barn that has been sympathetically and beautifully restored. You can immerse yourself in nature's wonderful glade with the backdrop of the grounds and garden of the owners nearby 16th Century farmhouse, should you need assistance. Positioned on the edge of Yelverton you're at the foot of Dartmoor National Park, a stone's throw from the golf course and a short car journey to the historic market town of Tavistock; if you prefer two wheels, at the end of the lane you hit miles upon miles of the famous Drake's cycle paths. This barn not only offers a wonderful location but an adventure and activity for every day of your holiday.

The barn has been furnished and decorated with your comfort in mind whilst working with the original features and updating with fully fitted hand-carved kitchen units and that all important wood-burner for those chillier nights. The main living space is light and airy with wonderful vaulted ceilings. One of the main features must be the wonderful double doors, one with balustrades that takes in views across the gardens and the other one opening onto the patio/decked area with lovely views of the woods. The barn offers privacy and a bubble of tranquility.

From the living area a flight of stairs leads up to the galleried bedroom/games-room with a single bed, making a perfect hang out area for the younger ones or an evening of competitive fun around the table-football for all the family to enjoy.

Although the barn is situated in the owners' grounds, you have your own separate access and parking with a gravelled path that leads you up to the front door of the barn. Being gravelled this can be uneven underfoot and there are several steps to negotiate both up and down as you walk through the entrance garden. On arrival you might be greeted by the friendly free range hens that roam free in the garden as well as the owners beloved dog.
