Ford Mill Shippen offers the perfect opportunity for a tranquil countryside couple’s retreat. You can relax in this contemporary single-storey barn conversion, roam the 10 acres of grounds or explore the beautiful North Devon coastline, only 8 miles away. Your day could entail a stroll to the lake, a game of giant chess, or a spot of fishing in the river on-site.

By evening you can kick back on the decked patio to enjoy the idyllic surrounds, then move inside to cosy up in front of the wood burner. Your rural retreat is set on shared grounds, with the owners’ home and another holiday cottage. A ramp will lead you to the front door, and an open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area will greet you.

This light, clean and comfortable living space includes a lounge area, a well-equipped kitchen and a cosy dining table ideal for romantic meals. The inviting double bedroom will make you feel at home, along with a sleek en-suite wet room. This property is nestled within the picturesque Devonshire countryside.

Set within vast grounds, and surrounded by farmland, it’s the ideal relaxing escape. If you wish to explore the region further, character-filled villages and stunning coastline are within reach.

The bustling seaside village of Westward Ho! is just an 8-mile journey and offers 2 miles of beautiful sandy shores. Also worthwhile is a meander down the steep cobbled street of the fishing village of Clovelly, 6 miles from the property; or the nearby Hartland Peninsula, featuring secluded caves and breathtaking cliff-top walks.
