Minimum stay for this property is 2 nights.
Hidden in the quiet hamlet of Downton, just outside the riverside village of Dittisham and on the doorstep of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Barns @ Downton is a stunning eco-conscious retreat perfect for families or groups of up to six. This stylish three-bedroom barn is an idyllic base for exploring Dartmouth, the River Dart, and the surrounding countryside and coast.
Inside this beautifully converted space, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The home is arranged across three interconnected stone barns, starting with a spacious entrance hall and a handy utility room with laundry facilities and extra fridge space. The expansive living room is designed for sociable moments and cosy nights in, featuring three distinct seating areas: a wood-burning stove, Smart TV with PlayStation 4, and soundbar for streaming; a quiet reading nook with armchairs; and a dedicated workspace with wired internet.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area is equally impressive, with vaulted ceilings, a central island, breakfast bar, and a large dining table. Equipped with high-spec appliances including double ovens, a microwave, fridge freezer, induction hob, dishwasher, and Lavazza coffee machine, it’s a dream for any budding chef. Two flexible ground-floor bedrooms with zip-and-link beds can be made up as twins or doubles and share a stylish family bathroom with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the master suite offers a luxurious king-size bed, ample storage, and a large en-suite with a bath, double basins, and a walk-in shower. All bedrooms come with a dressing table and hairdryer for added comfort.
From the kitchen, sliding glass doors lead to a beautifully private terrace, fully furnished with a dining area, garden seating, BBQ, and a wood-fired hot tub, the perfect spot for stargazing or lazy afternoon lounging. Stone steps lead down from the gated parking area (which includes an EV charging point), adding a touch of country charm to your arrival. The peaceful setting, surrounded by green fields, makes outdoor living here just as special as the interiors.
The village of Dittisham is a picturesque gem, set on the River Dart and brimming with Devon charm. From crabbing on the quay to ferry trips across to Agatha Christie’s beloved Greenway House, there’s something for everyone. Stop for lunch at the riverside Anchorstone Café, or ring the famous bell at the pink Ferry Boat Inn for a drink with a view. Dartmouth is just a short drive or ferry ride away, where you’ll find boutique shops, coastal walks, historic sites like Bayard’s Cove and Dartmouth Castle, and award-winning eateries.
Nature lovers can explore footpaths that wind through South Devon’s rolling hills or enjoy days at the beach, with Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands both nearby. Families will love the wildlife, watersports, and outdoor adventures available throughout the region.
Families or groups of friends looking for an eco-friendly yet luxurious countryside escape, with easy access to the coast, river activities, charming villages, and vibrant towns.
