About this property
The Old Shippon at Bucknole Farm is a charming stone and slate barn conversion
The Old Shippon at Bucknole Farm is a charming stone and slate barn conversion in a farmyard setting overlooking the picturesque Coly Valley. Recently renovated, it combines traditional character with modern comfort, offering a peaceful rural retreat on a small working farm. With enclosed gardens and ample parking, it makes an inviting base for families or groups of up to six guests.
Inside, the property is light and welcoming. The ground floor features a spacious kitchen and dining area with doors opening onto both the front patio and rear garden, along with a comfortable sitting room complete with wood-burning stove. Also on this level is a single bedroom and a wet room with shower. Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms: two king-size rooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a single bedroom served by the family bathroom.
Guests can enjoy both front and rear enclosed gardens, with outdoor seating providing a pleasant space for dining or relaxation. A lockable storage area opposite the property is available for bicycles and surfboards, making this a practical choice for active breaks as well as restful stays.
The Old Shippon sits in the tranquil Coly Valley, between the market town of Honiton and the historic hamlet of Northleigh. The Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, with Seaton, Beer, Branscombe and Lyme Regis all offering beaches, cliff walks and local attractions. Closer to home, Honiton provides shops, markets and eateries, while Colyton and the surrounding villages offer traditional pubs and countryside walks.
Additional Information:
One well behaved dog welcome (additional charge).
Travel cot and highchair available, on request.
