The barn is sited on the eastern edge of a small agricultural hamlet that is surrounded by lush, unspoilt Devon countryside and is accessed via a no-through lane that attracts minimal traffic. The barn was originally built about a century ago using local, partly rendered sandstone under a slate roof and was part of a working farm until 1988, when it was converted into a charming family home.
The barn's accommodation is spread over two floors and is grouped around a lovely, central sitting room, which has a part-vaulted ceiling that extends up to the ridgeline of the roof and is overlooked by the first floor galleried landing.
The barn's design makes the most of its position with the sitting room, study (fourth bedroom), conservatory and kitchen/breakfast room all looking south across the valley, with light spilling into the sitting room via roof lights and sliding French windows into the conservatory. The barn's interior is also characterful with exposed roof timbers, beams and stained pine joinery and the sitting room has an impressive, tall chimney breast with a fireplace at its base fitted with a gas fired wood-burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room is
generously sized and is fully fitted with a range of electric appliances, tiled floor, melamine work surfaces and a two-oven Rayburn. The window above sink looks out over the garden to the sumptuous countryside beyond, so there will hopefully be no shortage of volunteers to do any washing up.
Upstairs off the galleried landing are the principal bedroom and en suite bathroom, guest bedroom with en suite WC and a further double bedroom. The latter two share the large family shower room on the ground floor.
Garden
Long Barn is set back from the passing lane behind a parking area that extends along the barn's north-facing side. At one end of the barn is a detached double garage.
The garden extends out from the south side of the barn amounting to about a third of an acre and is designed to be easily maintained. An extensive, paved terrace provides a pretty, outside entertainment space in fine weather and is enclosed by dwarf brick walling surmounted by brick pillars with trellising between. The paving is decorated with a small lawn, raised borders and clipped box hedging. Extending along both sides of the terrace and beyond is a lawn that slopes down to the property's southern boundary and measures about 65 yards along its longest side.
Long Barn is set off a no-through lane in a lovely, rural setting on the edge of the hamlet of East Sidborough and only a few miles west of the thriving market town of Tiverton. Although postally linked to the tiny village of Loxbeare, the closest village is Calverleigh, which has a pretty church and village hall and there is a pub just outside the village that is only a four minute drive or 30 minute walk from the house.
Tiverton is the commercial and administrative centre of the Mid Devon district and has an excellent variety of shops and local business, including medical, dental and veterinarian surgeries. Local transport links are good too with the A361, A396 and J27 M5 are all within easy reach and Tiverton Parkway has direct rail services to Exeter (15 minutes) and Waterloo (1 hour 52 minutes). Exeter Airport is also within easy reach offering a daily service to London City Airport (1 hour).
The area has a selection of popular schools from both the state and independent sectors, including Blundell's School and Blundell's Preparatory School in Tiverton.
Calverleigh 1.2 miles, A361 1.6 miles, Tiverton town centre 3.8 miles, Blundells School (Tiverton) 4.7 miles M5 J27 9.9 miles, Tiverton Parkway 11.5 miles (Paddington 1 hour 52 minutes), Exeter City Centre 18 miles Exeter Airport 19 miles (London City Airport 1 hour), Taunton 24 miles (All distances and times are approximate)

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
