The Barn at Yeoland House is a beautifully converted 17th-century barn located in Yelverton, Devon, within the picturesque South West of England. This charming retreat is situated just 1.7 miles from Yelverton and offers a serene escape, nestled off a wooded lane and only 500 yards from a golf club. Accommodating up to five guests, the barn features three bedrooms and is pet-friendly, making it an ideal choice for families and friends seeking a rural getaway in the heart of Dartmoor National Park. The property boasts extensive grounds and gardens, providing a tranquil environment surrounded by nature.
Access to the cottage is private, with parking available and a gravel path leading through a delightful flower and shrub garden. Visitors will encounter ten steps that lead to a raised, unfenced garden, and an additional eight steps down to the entrance. A paddock for dog walking and bicycle storage enhances the outdoor experience. Inside, the barn combines rustic charm with modern sophistication, showcasing limestone flooring on the ground level and wood flooring upstairs. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is well-equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric oven, and induction hob, all set within handcrafted cabinetry.
The living area is designed for comfort and entertainment, featuring a woodburning stove, a TV with a Blu-ray player, and glazed double doors that provide access to both the garden and a patio with scenic rural views. The layout includes two staircases; one leads to a mezzanine single bedroom equipped with table football and games, while the other descends to two additional bedrooms—a king-size bedroom with storage and a second king-size bedroom that can be configured as a zip/link. The lower level also houses a stylish bathroom with a roll-top freestanding bath and a walk-in shower, a utility room that connects to the garden, and a small shower room with a corner walk-in shower.
Yelverton is positioned within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering a variety of local amenities such as churches, pubs, shops, a post office, and recreational activities including golf, tennis, badminton, and horse riding. Nearby attractions include the historic 13th-century Buckland Abbey and the enchanting Garden House gardens, both within two miles. The vibrant town of Tavistock is a short drive away, while Plymouth, known for its cultural offerings like theatres, cinemas, and the National Trust property Saltram House, is slightly further afield. The Barn at Yeoland House is truly a perfect countryside sanctuary for those looking to explore the natural beauty and rich history of the region.
