Chasty House Barn is a beautifully crafted home that seamlessly blends modern comforts with rustic charm. Originally two separate cob and stone barns, the property has been sympathetically renovated to create a spacious four-bedroom barn conversion, accommodating up to 7 guests.
Located in the small hamlet of Chasty, the Barn has the most delightful countryside on its doorstep. It occupies a tranquil and tucked-away location with only a handful of neighbours and is surrounded by a patchwork of fields with far-reaching views.
As you enter the property through the front door, the hall leads to each of the barns and the centrally located kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with a double oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and washing machine. A small breakfast bar provides a spot to socialize with the chef or charge your devices using a USB socket. The modern kitchen extends into a seating area with a lantern roof, offering a lovely view of the patio and garden. The large patio door can be slid open to bring the outdoors in, making outdoor dining a breeze.
Through the hall to the right, the upper and larger of the two barns contains the spacious open-plan living and dining room, which is tastefully decorated with a blend of modern and rustic elements. Exposed beams, modern art, soft wall lamps, and two deep, comfy sofas all add to the comfort and style. Sit down in front of a 40 LCD flat-screen TV with an Amazon Fire Stick and a spare HDMI lead for connecting your devices or take the Nintendo Wii bowling challenge. With a selection of Wii games, lots of board games, and books, this is a great place to relax or play together with the family. And if that wasn’t enough, there is a full-size table football game and a Hi-Fi with DAB radio/CD and iPod connectivity.
Upstairs are two light and airy bedrooms and the family bathroom. The first is a lovely double with a king-size bed and TV, and the second is a roomy twin that can be turned into a super king on request. Both bedrooms have matching furniture, including a wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside cabinets with lamps, and a tub chair. The beds are dressed with plump pillows and soft white satin-stripe cotton bed linen. The family bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower and a towel rail full of 100% Turkish Cotton (600gsm) luxury bath towels.
The remaining bedrooms are located in the lower barn through the hall to the left. The first is a large, spacious double with a TV and a daybed, and just off this is the other smaller bedroom, which has a single bed for younger party members. There is also a roomy en-suite with a monsoon shower. As with the first two bedrooms, the beds are dressed with plump pillows and soft white satin-stripe cotton bed linen, and the en-suite is stocked with luxury cotton bath towels. This makes the lower barn a perfect family suite.
Outside, there are two good-sized lawn areas for outdoor games and a separate south-facing patio area surrounded by fragrant shrubs and fruit trees. With a Mexican-style BBQ, during the warmer months, you can sit on the picnic bench and watch the sunset. There is an additional bistro set on a smaller patio area just outside the kitchen if you fancy having your morning coffee al fresco. The garden is fully enclosed with stock fencing and surrounded by farmland, and the location is such that you’re unlikely to hear anything more than the rustle of leaves and the morning birdsong. There is gated off-road parking for at least three cars.
The Barn is only a stroll from the quaint market town centre of Holsworthy, which offers several pubs, including the award-winning Old Market Inn, regular entertainment, an annual fair, The Bay of Bengal Tandoori restaurant & takeaway, and a fabulous fish and chip shop/restaurant.
All local beaches are attended by lifeguard patrols. Summerleaze has all manner of features on offer: sandy dunes, crab fishing in the river or Tommy’s Pit, great surf, a safe, enclosed sea pool, beach huts for hire, rock pools, fabulous walks along two miles of beach at low tide, amazing geology, and much more!
Bude town centre offers golf, shopping, bars, and restaurants, as well as splendid walks along Bude Canal and Nature Reserve, and along the coast path. A little further afield are Boscastle, Hartland Quay, and Clovelly, where there are shops, pubs, and fascinating local history.
The nearby Atlantic Coast has over seven miles of beaches with great surf, sand, rock pools, and dunes. Port Isaac, Padstow, Tintagel, Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, and the Eden Project are all easily within a day trip. This lovely holiday home is in one of Devon’s most popular holiday destinations and is available throughout the year.
