Orchard Barn presents an exceptional lifestyle and equestrian opportunity, unlike any other. This stunningly converted 5-bedroom stone barn is nestled within nearly 12 acres of picturesque countryside of the Blackdown Hills.

The property overlooks it’s three adjoining enclosed fields whilst alongside a separate, award-winning 1-bedroom holiday let/annexe with separate access, is perfect for generating income or accommodating a family member.

Additional amenities include three stables, a tennis court, heated pool extensive parking, garage, and of course those breath-taking, unspoiled panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

SELLERS INSIGHT
One of the main attractions of Orchard Barn, apart from its beautiful location with far reaching views, was the potential we could see in how the property would allow us flexibility to provide for multi-generational living. We created an internal annexe for our Mother, with its own lounge/kitchen area, plus a young adult space for our eldest with seating area and en suite. In addition, we could see the potential for additional income, where we converted the external annexe as a holiday let. All handled via Cottages.com - it could not be easier!

To keep the whole family active, as well as walking the adjoining fields, we re-instated the tennis court and renovated the swimming pool, which being heated, enables its use for longer periods whatever the weather.   

With our youngest now at University and Mother no longer with us, we feel that the time is right for us to move on and give others an opportunity to appreciate this beautiful home.
