A stunning former threshing barn, converted to create a cosy character property with a scale that defies expectations. With over 450 square metres of accommodation set within half an acre of gardens and more than 3 acres of adjoining paddocks with stables.
The Dining & Living Hall is simply, ‘Wow!’, with a scale that sets the tone for the rest of the property. The multiple windows, vaulted ceiling and large character features make it a light, airy and interesting space. Perfect for those family gatherings or large dinner parties where you want to make a lasting impression.
The underfloor heating & large woodburner mean it’s also a warm and inviting place to cosy up with a good book or your favourite film.
The hallway is a centre piece all of its own and provides a well fitted cloakroom with WC and access to the study or additional double bedroom. On the far side is yet another large reception room. A very flexible living space which could cater for dining or living requirements, or both as it’s currently set out. Either way it’s another fantastic entertaining space for those summer parties, with french and bi-fold doors leading out to the sunny patio but also a great family room. There is space for everyone to join in, whatever activity is planned!
Whatever culinary delights you want to cook up, this kitchen can accommodate.!
It’s a large and spacious kitchen with lashings of storage space, a walk in pantry and utility room.
There are stone worktops, a unique stone arch housing the range cooker, integrated appliances, space for an island and a large family size farmhouse table.
When you can’t stand the heat of the kitchen any longer the double french doors lead you out to a peaceful and private breakfast patio.
The amazing staircase from the hallway leads up and onto a light and airy landing. There is a family bathroom - with a roll top bath and a separate shower - and a viewing spot from the Juliet’ balcony which overlooks the Dining & Living Hall.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor, with the principle bedroom having vaulted ceilings and a pair of Juliet balconies, with three of the four double bedrooms having ensuite shower rooms.
The annexe is a superb addition, adjacent to the main house and with its own private entrance.
There is an open plan living/dining area with wrap around windows overlooking the gardens and a fully fitted kitchen with space for everything you would need.
A private staircase leads up to the first floor where there is a spacious double bedroom, with ensuite shower room.
A perfect space for a relative, older child or as a rental providing additional income.
Outside there are ample gardens, mainly laid to lawn, with a large fire pit, shady patio and large sunny patio with space for tables, chairs and sun loungers.
There is a pathway and lane leading over to the large paddocks and stables which would be ideal for horses and any other animals to suit your preferences. It is currently home to a selection of furry friends from donkeys to chickens.
The large gravelled driveway can provide parking for many vehicles with ease.
Exploring the local area around the barn is a delight. There is stunning scenery, magnificent wildlife, views to remember, unique local characters, delicious local food and genuine hospitality in abundance.
There is surfing and fishing, walking, riding, eating and drinking almost all within a short distance.
The riverside town centre of Bideford is just a short drive away and has a wealth of shops, cafes and bars, as well as local services, so you won’t have to venture far to complete your errands.
If you fancy a leisurely walk or bike ride, the Tarka trail is also close by or perhaps the three mile stretch of sandy beach at the nearby Westward Ho! is more appealing or maybe a spot of Sunday lunch at one of many award winning pubs, your choices are plentiful.
Barnstaple offers comprehensive range of both business, shopping and leisure facilities giving access to the A361/North Devon Link Road which connects North Devon through to the M5 motorway at junction 27.
The property has mains gas central heating, mains water and electric and private drainage.
