First Floor: Like our other cottages, Nutcombe Barn is a bank barn conversion and therefore entry is from the rear of the property at ground level onto the first floor of the cottage. Here you will find touches of luxury in an open plan living/kitchen/dining area with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, solid English oak flooring and original stonework with the added bonus of a Juliet balcony where you get stunning views out over the pond to the countryside beyond.

The kitchen: A shaker style kitchen with black granite work surfaces, fully equipped with everything you need in a self catering holiday cottage and more, with a built in fridge/freezer, ceramic hob and electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and kettle and plenty of crockery and cutlery for several days. With a dishwasher no one will need to wash up, but they may just want to with the stunning view from the window by the sink!

The open plan lounge/dining area: With three large leather sofas perfectly positioned for socializing, admiring the view or watching the large flat screen Smart TV with Freesat offering over 200 channels. There is also a DVD player and a small selection of books and family games.  The furniture is solid oak to match the flooring and just off the kitchen there is the added convenience of a small separate toilet with washbasin.

The dining area has a large oak dining table with six upholstered chairs. The table can be extended to create a much larger table which can seat up to 12 people, making it perfect for larger parties taking both Nutcombe Barn and Cider house (see below for details).

Upstairs bedroom:  The first of our three en-suite bedrooms is a King size just off the lounge area. Here you will find a beautiful wrought iron king size bed with pocket sprung mattress with a memory foam topper, oak bedside cabinets and wardrobe with views out over the dog garden to the countryside beyond. The limestone, luxury en-suite shower room has a large walk in shower with rainfall shower head and massage jet system for the ultimate in luxury showering as well as a loo and washbasin. This room is perfect for extended family holidays.

There is also another luxurious limestone bathroom with a full-size bath with overhead shower; so perfect for those who prefer to bathe rather than shower, or for families with children.

Large family gatherings:  To enable us to cater for larger parties, we have the capability of opening up between Nutcombe Barn and Cider House at first floor level to create one larger property that can sleep ten people in five en-suite rooms (Don't worry, there is two feet of sound insulation between the two properties when taken separately). This offers the perfect solution for large family gatherings like Christmas and New Year or just an extended family holiday. There is the option to have the furniture moved so that Nutcombe Barn becomes a social space and Cider House becomes a dining area (Christmas & New Year only). Please note This is not available during peak summer season.
