Apple Cottage, Colebrooke

Apple Cottage is a converted stone barn in the Devon countryside near Crediton. The original features shine through exposed beams, stone walls and a wood-burning stove that anchors the open-plan living space. The barn sits within a small complex of rural conversions surrounded by farmland.

The setting is pure Devon. Rolling fields stretch out in every direction. You'll hear birdsong and little else. The barn overlooks working farmland with views across the valley.

The barn sleeps four across two bedrooms. One double and one twin bedroom share a family bathroom. The open-plan kitchen and living area features the original stone walls and vaulted ceiling with those striking oak beams overhead. French doors open to a private patio.

Crediton town centre sits 3 miles away (8 minutes). Exeter Cathedral and the historic quayside are 9 miles away (20 minutes). Dartmoor National Park starts 12 miles south (25 minutes). The North Devon coast at Ilfracombe is 28 miles (45 minutes).

Apple Cottage works brilliantly for couples or small families wanting genuine Devon countryside in a proper barn conversion.
