Enjoy countryside charm at an idyllic North Devon farmhouse haven

Beacon Down, Parracombe is a charming three-bedroom farmhouse retreat nestled in the tranquil North Devon countryside. The lovingly finished farmhouse-style kitchen / diner welcomes you with a wooden dining table, pretty window seat, and all modern amenities including an oven, hob, fridge / freezer, microwave, washer / dryer, and dishwasher. Step into the spacious lounge where a huge corner sofa invites you to relax in front of the cosy wood burner, while the Freeview TV/DVD provides entertainment for quiet evenings in after a day of exploration.

Venture upstairs to discover three beautifully appointed bedrooms: two king-size rooms, one boasting garden views and the other featuring an en-suite shower and WC, plus a bunk bedroom with full-size bunks perfect for children or additional guests. The family bathroom offers a shower over bath and WC, ensuring comfort and convenience for all. Outside, beautiful gardens set mainly to lawn provide plenty of space to unwind, with outdoor seating and a BBQ perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Imagine waking to birdsong floating through your window, enjoying a leisurely breakfast at the farmhouse table before stepping outside to greet the resident sheep and alpacas. Spend sun-drenched afternoons watching children delight in the enclosed play area, complete with climbing frame, swings, slide, and trampoline. As evening falls, gather around the wood burner, sharing stories of your day's adventures exploring Exmoor's wild beauty.

Beacon Down, Parracombe is perfectly positioned to explore the best of North Devon's diverse landscapes. The stunning Heddon Valley is just three kilometres away and offers towering cliffs, hidden coves, and a wooded valley within Exmoor National Park, ideal for nature enthusiasts and hikers.

The historic Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway (9 km) provides not only a unique water-powered transportation experience between two picturesque villages but also offers breathtaking coastal views along the way. For wildlife lovers, the Exmoor Zoological and Conservation Centre (11 km) houses activities for all ages and is home to the Exmoor Beast – the only black leopard in the UK.

A little further afield, North Devon Falconry in Newton Tracey (31 km) offers exhilarating displays, breathtaking countryside views, and hands-on sessions with majestic birds of prey.
