The property

Nestling in the countryside above the rural village of Blackawton is Whistley Barn, No 5 West Hartley.

Just a short drive from Dartmouth’s waterfront, boutique shops and restaurants, as well as the stunning Start Bay coastline and beaches, including Slapton and the award-winning Blackpool Sands.

This welcoming, dog friendly, reverse-level barn conversion benefits from a generous enclosed garden with South and Southwest facing patios, enjoying fabulous views across the South Hams area of Devon.

The local village of Blackawton is within easy reach on foot or via car.

At its centre is the striking church of St Michael’s, the village shop which favours locally made produce and the charming George Inn, serving delicious food.

Whistley Barn has ample accommodation for six adults with a spacious fully equipped kitchen diner and separate lounge in which to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery.

The three bedrooms on the ground floor are generously proportioned and offer courtyard or countryside views.

Whistley Barn lies a short scenic drive from the centre of Blackawton where you will find a village shop to help ease your self-catered stay and the charming George Inn which serves delicious meals and a variety of drinks, perfect for the nights when you don’t fancy cooking.

The coast at Dartmouth is also easily accessible; delve into local history by exploring Dartmouth Castle, an impressive 15th-century fortress with stunning views over the River Dart, and be sure to continue the historical excursion at Bayard’s Cove Fort!

Alternatively, spend sunny days upon the shores of Compass Cove or Sugary Cove beach where you can soak up the sun, admire the views across the sea while walking your dog or splash around in the sea.

Or head inland to spend the day in the historic town of Totnes where you can marvel at its Norman Castle and tour the Museum and Archives before indulging in celebratory drinks in the town’s many pubs.

Explore the wonders of Devon at Whistley Barn.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
