Rough Torr Barn is an outstanding and unique stone barn conversion in a glorious Yealm Valley setting, with gardens and long views over unspoilt countryside.
The stand-alone position, surrounded by open farmland and mixed woodland in an exceptionally attractive landscape setting, with glimpses of the Grade 1 Listed Queen Anne Puslinch House, will be of great appeal to those seeking both privacy and accessibility. The centre of Yealmpton can be reached by delightful footpaths from here, along the Yealm Valley or across the adjacent fields, a distance of about 0.75 mile.
Built, it is believed, in 1836 and sold by the local country estate and converted in 1986, Rough Torr Barn has been the recent subject of a series of thoughtful improvements to excitingly enhance the living space, and improve both efficiency and versatility. Remaining as two buildings separated by a narrow courtyard the arrangement provides a special opportunity for those seeking principal home with high quality secondary accommodation suitable for a variety of uses.
In recent years the property has undergone a variety of thoughtful improvements to the interior, significantly enhancing the property, both architecturally and practically.
The gardens have gained from the passage of several enthusiastic gardeners, and is now a magical private space, embraced by many specimen plants and divided by old walls and paths. An orchard and small woodland lies within a meadow, the kitchen garden is productive, the terrace garden is strategically set with a westerly vista to view the setting sun, and the south facing main garden is serene, with a Mediterranean feel.
