Description

Originally part of the granary, this spacious brick barn conversion with its clay-tiled roof enjoys a superb south-westerly outlook across the gardens and the paddock beyond.

Converted by renowned local developers Slade Properties, an established family enterprise specialising in the concept and development of bespoke high quality homes throughout the beautiful East Devon area, this wonderful home is one of five select homes in this small development on the edge of the lovely hamlet.

Accommodation

The layout is well-proportioned throughout, with generous rooms positioned to maximise natural light. The home is highly insulated and benefits from underfloor heating via an air source heat pump, along with timber double-glazed windows.

The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, complete with tiled flooring, large island and a quality fitted kitchen featuring a range cooker, integrated dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Open-plan to the kitchen is the living room, finished with engineered oak flooring, creating a warm and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. There is a wonderful outlook through bi-fold doors to a covered terrace.

There is a dining room with engineered oak flooring, as well as a cloakroom (WC), a useful utility/plant room.

Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms, including two en suite bedrooms and a further family bathroom with shower.

Outside

Accessed via a shared entrance, the property is approached through a private timber five-bar gate, leading down a paved driveway to a generous parking and turning area.

To the side of the barn is a spacious, partly covered terrace, an ideal spot for outdoor dining, enjoying views across the level lawns and bordered by attractive, mature hedging offering privacy and shelter.
