About this property
2 bedroom accommodation in Buckland Filleigh near Bideford
A very well presented semi-detached barn conversion, located in an idyllic & peaceful forest location.. Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Freeview TV, Woodburner
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Induction Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher
Bedroom 2: Zip And Link Super Kingsize Bed (2 x Singles On Request) Ensuite: Walk-In Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair. Welcome pack. Enclosed small lawned garden with patio, garden furniture and firepit. 25-acre grounds (shared with owner). Private parking for 4 cars. No smoking. Please note: There are steps to the lawned area, an unfenced mill pond approximately 30 yards away and streams and ponds in the shared grounds. This property has a natural water supply via a borehole.. The Woodshed is the former timber store to Buckland Mill, which was converted into its current incarnation in 2019 by the current owners. It is in a beautifully peaceful and private forest clearing which after a short drive through it gloriously comes into sight! There is ample parking available to the front of the barn and as you enter you are greeted by the characterful open plan living room with plenty of seating and a cosy wood burner. The beautiful beech and copper staircase, with wood sourced from the woodland, leads to the first floor and two lovely bedrooms comprising a double and a kingsize, both with quality, modern en-suite shower rooms. Back downstairs, the dining area and modern, well-equipped kitchen are both framed by a lovely, exposed stone wall. The whole of the ground floor also benefits from underfloor heating.
Heading out from the kitchen, there is a warm tiled hallway which is perfect for keeping your outdoor accessories and walking boots and there’s access to a separate toilet and a handy enclosed courtyard area with a dog shower. The hallway can also double up as a peaceful retreat where you can sit and relax. Outside, you can enjoy roaming the vast 25 acres of pasture and woodland where domestic sheep and wild deer can sometimes be seen grazing. The grouinds boast an amazing varierty of birdlife including owls, woodpeckers, pheasants, Canada geese, moorhens and indeed everything from the smallest of finches to large birds of prey. Mr Fox is also a frequent visitor! Solitude is plentiful - you can simply relax just up a few steps in the private lawned area, or if you are feeling more sociable, sit by the firepit with a drink in hand. Should you be the ‘energetic sort’, there is a pétanque piste, which will inevitably require a healthy supply of wine to appreciate the ambience! The property has 25 acres (approximately 50% pasture land and 50% woodland) which guests are welcome to roam on. The small lawn behind the barn is the only private area though. The rest is shared with the owner when they are present next door and there is a public right of way through the forest.
The Woodshed is approximately 7 miles from Great Torrington and 14 miles south of the port town of Bideford and just 20 miles from the Cornish coastal town of Bude to the West. Devon is famed for its fantastic natural attractions such as Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, and the former with its magical night skies in Europe’s first ’Dark Sky Reserve’, many rugged coastal towns and quaint villages such as Lynton & Lynmouth, Ilfracombe and the world-famous Clovelly Village in North Devon and King Arthur’s Tintagel and many other North Cornwall coastal villages - all with awe-inspiring scenery.
With its selection of stunning beaches it will leave you spoilt for choice with award winning stretches of sand like Saunton, Woolacombe and Croyde and not far from Bideford is Westward Ho! Beach. The Tarka Trail is on the doorstep and the fantastic South West Coastal Path offers 90 miles of amazing walks.

Very nice off the grid location usual Devon lanes to property, more than comfortable in extremely well equipped kitchen. Good place for wildlife lovers plenty to see. Only suggestion would be some form of identification at the start of the “track†from the road if not the place name a coloured triangle or circle on the bridle way sign would help tremendously to help find the place. Many thanks

What a find, that is if you like living in the middle of nowhere.
What a find, that is if you like living in the middle of nowhere. It was just perfect. Because it is so remote I would suggest a few more items in the kitchen would help eg pans etc. Would I recommend the Wood Shed, Definitely. There are plenty of places to travel to and visit should you wish. I would like to think that we will return in the near future.A big thank you to the owners Nigel and Helen, you have created a little piece of paradise.
