This beautiful four-bedroom barn conversion is set within a small complex of 5-star properties, just under 3 miles from the nearest beach and a short drive from the popular port town of Ilfracombe.
Accessed via a private agricultural lane, the property offers both privacy and a sense of community, with the owners living on-site.
At the heart of The Shippon is a spacious open-plan living area. The lounge features a piano, perfect for evenings of music and relaxation, while the modern kitchen boasts a large island with an induction hob – an ideal space for food lovers to cook and entertain. Guests can gather around with a drink in hand while meals are being prepared.
Outside, a private raised garden and orchard provide stunning views across the countryside, stretching out to the Bristol Channel and even as far as Wales on a clear day.
Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the property is just 4 miles from Ilfracombe’s charming harbour and port, which dates back to the 12th century. Here you can enjoy local ice cream, traditional fish and chips, independent craft shops, and art galleries. The surrounding area is brimming with attractions, including Cairn Woodland Nature Reserve, Hillsborough and Rapperee Cove, Watermouth Bay, and the famous South West Coast Path. Families will love Watermouth Castle and Theme Park, while adventurers can take boat trips to Lundy Island, try diving, spot seals and seabirds, or experience the thrill of the Ilfracombe Sea Safari.
Ilfracombe is also the perfect base to explore more of North Devon. Within easy reach, you’ll find the Tarka Trail, Exmoor National Park, and the dramatic Valley of the Rocks at Lynton, home to breathtaking coastal views and the historic water-powered funicular railway to Lynmouth. There are several excellent pubs and restaurants within 4 km – including The Sawmills in Watermouth Valley, and the Sandy Cove Hotel in Combe Martin Bay with its spectacular coastal setting. For beach lovers, the region offers some of the best in the country – from the surfing hotspots of Saunton Sands, Woolacombe, and Croyde to peaceful stretches of golden sand.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 12 guests.
