Stargazey Barn, Buckland Brewer, is a beautifully converted barn offering character and comfort in equal measure. Set on a mezzanine level above the lounge, the well-appointed open-plan kitchen / diner features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and Velux windows with glorious countryside views. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, wine cooler, coffee machine, dishwasher, and washer/dryer, with a central island and dining area framing the view. Below, the light and airy lounge impresses with double-height vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork and beams, a flagstone floor, and a Smart TV.
Step outside to the private enclosed patio, where a bubbling hot tub, fire pit, and garden furniture await. Dine alfresco under open skies or soak away the day in the tub year-round. The adjacent private paddock with sweeping countryside views is a delight for dogs and their owners alike. The single king-size bedroom occupies the ground floor, doors opening directly onto the patio, and enjoys a well-appointed en-suite shower room.
Picture yourself climbing the spiral staircase to the mezzanine kitchen as morning light streams through the Velux windows, framing a sweep of Devon countryside. Come evening, sink into the hot tub beneath a vast canopy of stars, the crackle of the fire pit a gentle backdrop. At Stargazey Barn, the simple pleasure of being here is the whole point.
