3 bedroom detached house for sale

A Grade 2 listed farmhouse with adjoining listed barn, in a highly sought-after village location. The adjoining barn could be converted into a 3 bedroom barn conversion to make an additional property (planning permission granted in 2007).

Situation - Harberton House is situated within a delightful thriving village of Harberton with its strong community bound by the famous Church House Inn, the historic church of St Andrews and the parish hall.

The property is only approximately 3 miles from the bustling medieval market town of Totnes, which has a mainline railway station giving direct access to London Paddington. Schooling in the area is excellent with a selection of primary and secondary education. The property offers good access to the A385 which leads to Totnes and the A38.

Description - Harberton House is offered to the market by the family and represents a fantastic opportunity to restore a Grade 2 listed Devon longhouse and potentially convert the adjoining Grade 2 listed barn into a separate three bedroom residential dwelling. It is fair to say that the condition of the property warrants investment, however, the property is certainly in a liveable condition and is occupied.

Accommodation - The property benefits from a private car parking space through a timber gateway onto tarmacadam drive in front of the house and to the side of the adjoining barn. There is also ample space to park another vehicle in front of Harberton House. From the drive a flight of slate steps leads up into an impressive large covered porchway with exposed beams with a timber door into the former cross-passage of the house with a tiled floor. Step up and door into the utility room, with a tiled floor and a range of base level kitchen units, plumbing for washing machine and tumble drier, door to a useful storage cupboard and door to the Grant oil-fired boiler. From the hall there is a door through to the kitchen/breakfast room, again with exposed ceiling timbers and a range of base and eye level kitchen units and there is space for an electric cooker and plumbing for a dishwasher.

Much of the exposed stone of the house provides great character to the property and the windows to the front have working shutters either side. Door into the impressive dining room/sitting room with a granite fireplace with slate hearth, currently blocked, lots of exposed ceiling timbers and at the far end there is a further fireplace with a wood burning stove fitted. There is a door to a secondary flight of stairs which leads up to the bedroom at the far side. From the hall a door provides access to the main flight of stairs, providing access to the family bathroom and two large double rooms. Both of these rooms have fitted wardrobes and from the bedroom in the middle of the house there is a hand wash basin and an interconnecting door through to the third double bedroom with a fireplace, exposed stone walls and door to an en-suite shower room with a large walk-in shower and tiled floor. From this bedroom a secondary flight of stairs lead down to the sitting room.

Outside - From the utility room a door leads out to a flight of steps leading along the rear of the property, passing a door to an outside WC, and a pathway which can provide access to the village pub. The path also passes the oil tank for the farmhouse and along an upper level area of garden where there is a mature wisteria and a number of herbaceous flowering shrubs. A path opens out to a paved patio area with a stone wall to the rear with a south facing position overlooking the roof of Harberton House.

Stone Barn - The house adjoins a separately listed Grade 2 stone barn and to the side there is a further area of garden where a greenhouse is positioned. From the path, which leads to the garden, there is a large timber door which provides access to the first floor of the barn, which the vendors gained planning permission in 2007 for its conversion into a three bedroomed residential dwelling. The Application No. 23/0722/07/F gained full planning permission and the vendors put in the first floor and commenced work with building control and, therefore, they believe the planning permission to still be current. The consent provided a large open plan first floor of kitchen, sitting room, dining room with internal stairs going down to the ground floor where there are three bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities and a family bathroom. There is currently a timber flight of stairs running down to the ground floor level, which has a concrete floor with power and light connected. There are opening doors leading from the ground floor out onto the tarmac entrance drive where there is a further single storey stone barn, used for storage.

Services - Mains water, drainage and electricity is connected to the farmhouse with oil-fired central heating.
