First class educational facilities can be found nearby whilst Dartmoor National Park and the sandy beaches of Teignmouth and Torbay are only a short distance away.

Description & Accommodation - The barn was converted in 2008 by the award-winning developers, Poppy Developments, and has been home to the current family ever since. The property includes an adjoining stone barn with a mill wheel on the outside. The vendors looked at converting this barn for holiday/family accommodation and have some plans in mind for a conversion which could be up to 1,525 sqft. A picture showing this potential is shown in these particulars.

From the parking and turning area, there is a gate through to the barn with a walkway leading past the front area of garden to the glazed door which leads into the open plan kitchen/breakfast room. The entirety of the ground floor has wide oak planked flooring and the kitchen has a bespoke range of base and eye-level kitchen units surrounding the Aga which has a module adjoining with two further electric ovens and a four-ring gas burner above. The kitchen has black granite worktops and a central island with soft closed drawers. The kitchen has an integrated AEG dishwasher and integrated refrigerator with a Gloworm combi boiler concealed behind the cupboard unit. There is also an integrated microwave oven. This room is large enough to have a breakfast table, with a pair of patio doors leading to the gravelled courtyard.

This room contains a desk which is perfect for home working. Underneath the stairs is a WC.
