一人旅のイースト・プーレ・バーン

Houses in East Prawle are hard to buy because no one ever wants to sell them. This part of Devon, known as the South Hams, is like a magical retreat from everyday life. Beautiful sandy beaches, rocky coves to explore, incredible walks along the coast path, rolling Devon hills and big skies. Even at high season it feels secluded here, and we really are far from the crowds. Our house is one of 3 barns hidden away a mile down a private track, with nothing between us and the sea at the bottom of the valley. Stroll down to the beach (half a mile), walk across the fields to the pub and the shop in the village (1 mile) or drive to either (5 mins). You'll be amazed by how peaceful it is where we are, and how connected you will feel to the landscape, the nature and the ocean.

The barn has been completely refurbished since we bought it in 2010. Thick stone walls on the outside reveal a modern bright interior, wooden floors, Farrow & Ball colours, modern comfortable bathrooms, good sound system, a fantastic wood-burning stove, comfortable sofas, a much loved kitchen dining table for long meals and conversation, 2 TVs, 2 fridges, washing machine, drying machine, wi-fi, BBQ, a fire-pit for sitting round in the evening, outdoor table and chairs to eat at and above all some amazing views down the valley to the sea. Go for a walk along the beach, take the kids surfing, catch a fish for supper, drop into the pub then head home for a BBQ. Those are perfect days and at Higher Borough we have them all the time.
