On arrival the view is the first thing that stands out. Its commanding position takes full advantage of the outstanding countryside and views to the South Devon coastline.
The property is an impressive range of ''Grand Designs' barns set around an inner courtyard and is currently divided into three parts - The main house is accessed via a baronial style hall with symmetrical glazed doors and comprises spacious open plan living accommodation with a bright formal dining/drawing room, a modern kitchen/informal dining area and an adjoining barn which makes for excellent extra storage, boot, utility room with first floor above.
On the first floor are four/five bedrooms, two en suites, a family bathroom and a large open plan area ideal as media/living room or home office. The hall leads into the first of the holiday letting units with two bedrooms both with en suites, cloakroom and utility. Stairs lead to a contemporary open plan kitchen/dining/living space with wood burner and sliding doors acting as the entrance to this smaller letting unit. Equally this letting unit could be incorporated into the main house to create six/seven bedrooms and a substantial home office.
The second letting unit is reverse living and has its own driveway and parking. The large sliding door open on to an impressive 28 metre vaulted room, that is cleverly divided into four areas - drawing room, dining room, kitchen and games/entertainment space with a vast cinema screen. At this end of the barn a 4th bedroom and en suite has been created and features the original water wheel. At the opposite end of this level is a cloakroom and utility room with stairs leading down to three very cleverly converted bedrooms all with en suites and views and access to the inner courtyard.
There are three parking areas which are located next to the external openings for the three buildings. Gardens surround the property and off an external wall the current owners have a created a delightful summer room which takes full advantage of the wonderful views.
The property is only a short drive from the historic former stannary town of Ashburton. Halshanger Barns have direct walking access on to Dartmoor National Park. The A38 Devon Expressway is just under two miles away for work or travel communications but cannot be seen or heard therefore giving the best of both worlds.
The house enjoys outstanding views over the surrounding countryside. Whilst being in a beautiful position the property is only 2.5 miles from Ashburton and 1.8 miles to the A38. It also has easy access to the national park and the River Dart as well as the beaches of the South Hams. The thriving town of Ashburton is close by creating a feeling of country living with easy access to amenities.
Ashburton has an excellent range of facilities including independent restaurants such as the Old Library, Rafikis as well as coffee shops, a delicattesen, artisan bakery, a fish deli and cookery school. Totnes is also nearby providing a wide range of facilities and is a thriving market town. Exeter has excellent shopping facilities in Princesshay which also includes a John Lewis, Waitrose and IKEA.
There are well respected schools in Exeter such as Exeter School and the Maynard as well as Torbay Grammar Schools, Stover, and Mount Kelly in Tavistock.
The A38 dual carriageway is just 1.8 miles away and links with the M5 to Exeter. There are excellent rail links from Totnes and Newton Abbot
(London Paddington 2 hours 24 mins) as well as flights from Exeter Airport.
There is excellent access to the River Dart and the South Hams which is famous for its beaches and sailing. There is also outstanding walking and riding nearby and also wild swimming available in the pools of the River Dart. For golfers there are many courses on Dartmoor and the south coast including Bovey Castle and Thurlestone both of which offer excellent facilities. There is also excellent cycling and wild swimming opportunities within easy reach of the house.
