A fantastic ground floor barn conversion located in Galmpton, a little village on the outskirts of Paignton and Brixham. This barn has a total of 3 bedrooms and can sleep up to 6 guests. It is in very close proximity to the local village shop and Inn and a number of wonderful educational walks as well as the world famous Greenway House, the family home of Agatha Christie now run by the National Trust. The cottage itself occupies a very large corner plot within a select residential development of similar conversions on the edge of the village. The Chestnuts’ own private rear gardens are a delight and provide a very large space for guests to relax. The accommodation is spacious and modern and is ideal for a family or couples travelling together looking for a holiday base conveniently located to explore all the attractions that South Devon offer. Less than 2 miles from this dog friendly beach.
