 Toad Hall
Shebbear, Nr Beaworthy, Mid-Devon.,United Kingdom
"An idyllic country estate setting with superb leisure facilities on site"
Tucked away in this tranquil location at the heart of rural Devon, these three lovely barn conversions are situated on a quiet country estate on the edge of the historic village of Shebbear. All the properties are presented to a very high standard and enjoy shared use of a superb indoor heated swimming-pool, sauna, gym, and games facilities, and are just a short drive to the stunning North Devon and North Cornish coast. It is the ideal family holiday location. Toad Hall (HTL) has been converted to a very high standard from an attractive stone barn and retains much of its original character with lovely high apex ceiling and galleried landing, overlooking the open-plan living area with its cosy open fire and traditional flagstone floors. It boasts all the charm of a traditional barn with all the modern comforts of en-suite facilities to some of the bedrooms and a lovely fitted kitchen. A downstairs bedroom and bathroom provide easy walking or wheelchair access. Badger's House (HPG) is the largest of all three cottages - it was a former dairy and is attractively beamed throughout and again is presented to a very high standard. A light and spacious property, it oozes charm and comfort. The living room is full of character and a lovely family room to while away the evenings in front of the wood-burning stove. Moley's Place (HTK) with its large kitchen/dining-room, ideal for family meals, and unusual L-shaped living room, provides plenty of space for all. There is always a quiet corner to tuck away in or to just relax in front of the open fire. Each property has its own private garden and patio area overlooking open countryside, the ideal place for summer barbecues or al fresco dining. Within the grounds there is plenty to keep everyone happy. Apart from the pool, sauna and gym, there is a large shared games room with table tennis, pool table, table football, bar billiards, darts and computer games along with a toddlers' internal soft play area and `Kick About' area. Take a walk through the beautiful 4½ acres of natural woodland on the estate - a delight for young and old filled with an abundance of wildlife and flowers. It is even possible to barbecue down here in one of the picnic areas. A stunning location that has something for everyone. Wild brown trout, sea trout and salmon fishing are available locally and good shooting is close at hand in the season. Golf and riding are available nearby whilst the famous Tarka Trail leads walkers and cyclists through some superb scenery. Roadford and Tamar Lakes are both within a 20-minute drive for fishing, lovely lakeside walks and water sports, and Dartmoor National Park is a haven for nature lovers and walkers. The stunning North Devon and North Cornwall coast is within 30 minutes' drive and boasts fantastic sandy beaches and hidden coves, ideal for surfing or exploring the many rock pools. The historic port and market town of Bideford is just 10 miles away. In a pretty waterside setting it has a good selection of shops and restaurants along with the Atlantic Village shopping centre. From here boat trips or helicopter rides can be taken to Lundy Island. Along the rugged coastline lie the cosmopolitan villages of Instow and Appledore, beautiful Hartland and the delightful harbour village of Clovelly - not to be missed. Among the many family attractions are The Big Sheep, The Milky Way and Kilarney Springs. RHS Rosemore Gardens and Dartington Crystal Factory are also close by. And for a great day out the famous Eden Project is just an hour's drive.
