To the side is a courtyard seating area and BBQ with views out to the neighbouring field.

This barn has its own good sized secured lawned garden area with a seating patio, perfect for enjoying a sunset by the fire pit and BBQ, with views to the south towards Tamar Bridge across this little valley. Upstairs there is a wonderful open plan living area and a kitchen with a full-size oven/hob, fridge/freezer. The barn offers a great sense of space and is neutrally decorated to a high standard with exposed beams and skylights. The ground floor has an entrance lobby with two good sized bedrooms and a large family bathroom. There is plumbing for a washing machine and the boiler which serves the two rental properties is positioned here.
SWIMMING POOL/GYM
A beautiful maintained mini complex with heated pool which is 7.5m length, 4m width and a maximum depth of 1.4m. There ample room for seating and a gym area with natural light and doors to the courtyard. There is also a sizeable shower room and WC. The current owners keep this lovely area for their private use, but there is scope for additional income, subject to further investigation, or for the holiday guests which could significantly increase revenue. The pool is heated independently from a plant room which houses an oil-fired boiler, pumps, and filters.
OUTBUILDING/GARAGE
Attached to the larger of the two barns is a double garage with power and lighting, good for storage with double wooden doors opening onto the courtyard. This is attached to the larger holiday barn so could also have scope to incorporate into a games room or downstairs kitchen subject to planning consents.

The property is approached down a long, gated driveway (shared with a neighbouring barn) with fields either side housing the neighbouring farms, horses, and sheep. The driveway continues into the central courtyard with ample parking, flanked by the main house, swimming pool and barns. There is an area of garden, with beautiful views to the neighbouring fields, mainly lawned and has a southern aspect. This also houses the oil tank which services the main house. To the rear of the main house is a sizeable lawn which gently slopes and offers views over the valley to fields and beyond.
The property is ideal for a family who enjoy outdoor pursuits and the moors without being away from village life with the added benefit of additional income. There is an area of moorland which is a short walk from the house, ideal for walks and enjoying the scenery. There is also easy access to beautiful Devon and Cornwall beaches, plus Plymouth and Tavistock are within twenty minutes by road.
