The Arch Barn, South Molton is a stunning reverse-level conversion set on a 300-acre working sheep farm bordering scenic Exmoor National Park. The first-floor open-plan kitchen, dining and living space creates a bright, characterful heart to the home, where charming arched windows frame peaceful countryside views across meadows and valleys. The well-equipped kitchen features an electric oven and hob, slimline dishwasher, microwave, and full-size fridge / freezer, whilst the dining area offers comfortable seating for family meals. Settle into the cosy lounge area with its inviting wood burner (logs provided), perfect for relaxing evenings in front of the Smart TV.
Head outside, where the enclosed private garden offers a tranquil retreat with terrace seating and a generous lawn where children can play safely whilst you soak up those stunning rural views. Downstairs, two charming bedrooms await: a double room with delightful arched windows (please note the step in the middle of the room) and a twin bedroom, also featuring those characteristic arched windows. A stylish family bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC completes the ground floor layout. Parking for two cars is available directly outside the property.
Picture mornings with coffee on the terrace, watching mist lift from the valleys as sheep graze peacefully across the farm. Days unfold at your own pace: perhaps a brisk walk through the countryside from your garden gate, a visit to a nearby country pub, or an adventure to North Devon's spectacular coastline. Return to gather logs for the wood burner as twilight settles, the silence broken only by birdsong and distant bleating.
