Beautiful detached barn conversion in an idyllic setting, with stunning grounds of 1.3 acres enjoying panoramic countryside views.
Location - The property is situated in a highly sought after location, enjoying a tranquil rural feel, with glorious views over the rolling countryside, yet is within 10 minutes of the regional centre of Barnstaple.
Sepscott Barn is located at the end of a long driveway, with just two neighbouring properties, and enjoys a high degree of privacy throughout. The property is also located within 8.5 miles of Exmoor National Park, which is renowned for its undulating moors and pastureland, with streams and rivers running down through deep wooded combes to the North Devon coastline. The area offers an excellent range of country pursuits, including shooting, fishing and fantastic walking opportunities. The property is also within a similar distance to some of the best surfing and sandy beaches in the region, including Croyde, Saunton and Woolacombe, which are all around 10 miles away.
The regional centre of Barnstaple is approximately 3 miles away, and offers all of the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues and on the edge of town is North Devon District Hospital. Live theatres and cinemas are accessible in Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. There is an excellent range of schools in the area including the renowned private school of West Buckland, which is within easy reach.
Communications - The area can be accessed from Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway, and along the A361 North Devon Link Road, which leads onto the A39. The nearest train station is located at the regional centre of Barnstaple, which connects to Exeter, and from there, there are regular mainline rail services to London (Paddington) in just over 2 hours. Alternatively, Tiverton Parkway Railway Station is around an hours’ drive from the property and has frequent trains to London and elsewhere.

The Property - This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented detached stone barn in a rural and tranquil position, yet within ten minutes of the town and within easy access of the spectacular North Devon coastline. The property was converted in 1996 by the current vendors, and has been the subject of continual and quality improvement, and offers light and airy accommodation with breath-taking panoramic views over the rolling countryside. The spacious accommodation boasts three reception room, four bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, two of which are en-suites. There is also further potential to extend the property, if needed, with a loft conversion that is already plastered, painted and centrally heated (subject to any necessary consents).
A real feature of the property are the well thought out and beautifully landscaped gardens, that offer seclusion and privacy, as well as wonderful countryside views. The main gardens lie to the front of the property, and are sunken and sheltered, providing a real sun trap; there are meandering pathways and an abundance of flowering plants and shrubs that lead down to the pond with a decked area and summerhouse.
Only with a viewing can you start to appreciate the quality of accommodation, outstanding views, location and beautiful gardens on offer, and added to that, the property is available to the open market with no ongoing chain.

The rear garden has been used as a vegetable garden and is bordered by a dry stone wall. From the front garden, a set of steps lead down to the sunken garden that has been beautifully created by the current vendors in a curved dome, with walkways that meander down to the pond, which is surrounded by decking with a summerhouse, and is the perfect place for al-fresco dining and relaxing. There is also a water feature, where the water follows the walkways and flows down to the pond and there are an array of flowering shrubs and plants, with mature trees and lawned sections. It is the perfect escape and provides a quiet haven from which to enjoy complete privacy and stunning views.

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
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
