Escape to Varley Lodge, and experience comfort among beautiful North Devon countryside and far-reaching views of the Taw Estuary. This detached property, a renovated eco-friendly barn conversion sleeping six, is tucked away in tranquil Prixford village – part of a working farm that boasts an array of green energy solutions such as ground source heat recovery and rainwater collection.

Upon entering, you’ll find a treasure-trove of characterful interior design and original features contrasted with contemporary fixtures. The stylish kitchen/diner is well equipped to handle all your culinary needs, featuring not only modern amenities like a range cooker, gas hob, dishwasher and coffee maker, but also a family dining table. Make yourself comfortable in the welcoming sitting room, and let the gentle warmth of a wood-burning stove create a cosy atmosphere as you curl up with a good film on the Smart TV.

The property also has a useful utility room and neat cloakroom for added convenience. And, if you’re looking for a moment of tranquility, spend an outdoor afternoon in your own private garden, featuring an inviting patio area and alfresco dining possibilities, as well as a hot tub that provides an ideal vantage point amongst the leafy fields.

On the first floor you can stretch out across three bedrooms and two staircases. Pick one, and work your way up to explore the mezzanine snug room, an oasis of relaxation with an armchair and cup of tea. Or, soak up views of the surroundings from any of the bedrooms — comprising a super-king-size, a master king-size, or a twin — each of which offer superb storage spaces. A family bathroom finishes off the floor, presenting a calming bath with a handheld shower and a separate walk-in shower.
