About this property
Situated in the countryside of Rousdon, Devon, this beautiful stone barn conversion will make the perfect base for families or two couples along with their four-legged friend. Close to the Jurassic coast and the bustling town of Lyme Regis, there will be plenty of activities just a short drive from the property. Approach this historic barn, converted tastefully to make a wonderful holiday home and utilise the off-road parking to unpack with ease. An open-plan living area with traditional roof beams bringing a feel of a seaside cottage and the addition of French windows to draw light into the space. Settle down with a coffee in the homely sofas provided, or head over to the spacious kitchen where you will be able to create a masterpiece using the amenities of offer, before presenting it on the central wooden dining table. As the evening wears on, you will find a place to rest in one of the two bedrooms on offer; a kingsize with a stone wall painted blue to remind you how close to the beach you are and a more muted double bedroom with vintage furniture and relaxing white and grey décor, both with roofbeams and within close range of the bathroom where you can enjoy a soak amongst the bubbles.
Outside, you can access a delightful sitting area through the French windows where you can read in the sunshine as your four-legged companion relaxes on the lawn.
The local area of Rousdon is within easy access of Lyme Regis Fossil Beach where you will be able to explore the rocky shoreline to see what fossils hide beneath the rocks. Visit Cannington Viaduct for an insight into history to enjoy a walk through the countryside. The property is within easy reach of Lyme Regis, a bustling town full of wonderful shops, tasty cafés and delicious restaurants and will make the perfect family day out with walks along sandy and rocky beaches and the picturesque harbour. You will simply love the Jurassic coast with a stay at 2 Home Farm South.
The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!

The bathroom leak is like a Little Venice and the hob rings are still not working properly. All these faults have been reported before and still not rectified . Itâs a pity to see such a nice place deteriorating so much . I used Lyme bay holiday before and am a little surprised that these faults have not been corrected or a least listed . Itâs your reputation that being questioned Regards martyn and Julia

The beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. Our dog is not an escape artist so loved lying on the grass in the sun whilst the patio doors were open. Suggested improvements: the bathroom is due an upgrade and there seemed to be a leak from under the bath. Two of the cooker hobs did not work at all / properly
