The lets are situated just off the beautiful Taw Valley in the green rolling hills of central Devon. The luxury accommodation is a former barn and is believed to be built at a similar time to the main house, (Nethercott) and original farm buildings. In 2010 the conversion of 'The Arches' began and the building itself was completed in Mid-2012 (although development to the grounds and gardens continues).
A local architect and builder were employed for the design and construction and wherever possible local materials have been used. Construction is of stone, oak and slate and the exterior retains its traditional character and appealing brick arches. Despite being double glazed all doors and windows are custom made from solid oak to match the charm of the original building.

When converting this beautiful building for use as holiday lets we did not wish to spoil the natural environment. Much thought has been put into the impact of the project on the surroundings and we have strived to exceed the current build regulation requirements in all aspect of the build. Coated & Argon Filled Double Glazing throughout.
