Willowplatt Barn is a stylish Devon stone barn dating back to 1787, recently converted into a contemporary home in Kingsbridge, Devon. Located in a secluded tributary valley above the River Avon estuary, this property is designed to complement the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just across the estuary bridge from Aveton Gifford village, it is perfectly situated for exploring the popular holiday area, with sandy beaches like Bantham, Bigbury, and Thurlestone less than 5 miles away. Aveton Gifford offers a pub and village shop, while nearby towns like Kingsbridge and Salcombe provide a range of amenities and water-based activities.
Surrounded by beautiful walking country, Willowplatt Barn is a peaceful retreat with access to the Devon Wildlife Trust Reserve and the 8-mile Avon Estuary Walk. The South West Coastal Path at Bantham is also easily reachable. The property is reached via a quarter-mile farm track, ensuring a tranquil setting with minimal passing traffic. Architect designed and craftsman built, Willowplatt Barn is a charming place to stay with family or friends throughout the year. However, it is important to note that children aged 6 years and under cannot be accommodated due to safety concerns with the ironwork staircase and hallway steps.
Featuring 3 bedrooms and sleeping up to 7 guests, Willowplatt Barn offers a pet-friendly environment and includes amenities like an electric vehicle charging point. The property's name, derived from an old farming term meaning 'the place where the willows grow,' reflects its natural surroundings and peaceful ambiance. With a cozy pub and village shop nearby, as well as easy access to the beach and water activities, Willowplatt Barn is an ideal base for a relaxing holiday in the South West of England.
