Pair of beautifully renovated accessible properties close to Barnstaple, Exmoor, and the beaches of the North Devon Coast
Middle Dean is a pair of fully accessible holiday properties on a working farm in a lovely part of North Devon. The Old Piggery is a beautiful barn conversion, and Orchard View, a pretty cottage. Nestled on the outskirts of the village of Goodleigh, just outside Barnstaple, you're not far from the fringes of Exmoor National Park.
The dog-friendly Old Piggery is a characterful place in the midst of beautiful countryside, with all the amenities you might need, and is especially suitable for guests with limited mobility – one of the three bedrooms is a step-free king on the ground floor, and the en-suite has been adapted with accessibility in mind, including a wheelchair accessible walk-in shower with a seat and handrail. The other two bedrooms are on the first floor – a king-size and a twin – along with a family bathroom with a shower.
Back downstairs, there's a WC, a well-equipped kitchen, and a high-ceilinged, beamed sitting and dining space with a log-burner and TV. Patio doors lead out to the garden, complete with a paved patio, outdoor furniture and a lawn, plus a large, rush-roofed pergola for shade.
In short, it's all contemporary and very comfortable. It's worth noting the dining table can be extended to accommodate a wheelchair, and you can ask for a ramp to access the garden more easily.
Two-bedroom Orchard View was also designed with accessibility fully in mind. Head inside through the wooden porch and discover the open-plan kitchen, living and dining space with high ceilings, characterful beams and wooden flooring.
The ground-level king-size bedroom is super spacious, with a big window (this doubles as a fire exit). There's also an en-suite you access through an extra-wide, easy-slide door, featuring non-slip tiles, a walk-in shower with space for a wheelchair, a folding shower seat, and low shower controls. You'll also find a high toilet with a handrail and a raised sink.
Head up the hand-crafted staircase to the mezzanine for a second king-size bedroom with a shower en-suite. Meanwhile, out in the enclosed garden, relax around the table or take respite from the sun on warm days under the pergola.
Out and about, Exmoor National Park is within easy reach, the New Inn pub is a short drive away in Goodleigh, and Barnstaple is less than a 10-minute journey. The glorious North Devon Coast and an array of beaches are within half an hour by car, including Woolacombe, Croyde, Saunton Sands and Westward Ho! – many have accessible slipways, and you can rent all-terrain wheelchairs.
