A beautiful barn, newly converted, retaining the integrity of the original old building with loads of character and fantastic views over open farmland on one side and towards Dartmoor on the other. This superb quality, three-bed, semi-detached barn conversion is one of just five unique conversions nestled deep in the countryside yet a few minutes from Holsworthy, in the little hamlet of Hollacombe just 20 minutes' drive from the beautiful North Devon/North Cornwall coast.

As well as its own front and back gardens, a garage with storage and plenty of parking, this three-bedroom Barn has a paddock of approximately half an acre or just over. Tucked out of the way behind the garage barn, it also has a handy extra-large parking space for a caravan, campervan or a boat.

Interior

Ground Floor

A short stride from the parking bay, where the picket fencing boundary edges the lawned front gardens, you are welcomed by a wide, brick-edged slate doorstep echoing the wide front door of Tredown Barton. This sits within the original, opening which reaches the full height of the building. Now fully glazed with bespoke wood frames in a soft grey-green, this opening allows masses of light to flood into the property.

The Welcome Hallway (5.2m x 3.9m)

The large front door with glass either side, leads into a wide and welcoming hallway warmed not only by the sunlight, but by the warmth of the natural slate underfoot, the hidden underfloor heating running throughout the ground floor. An original exposed stone wall to your right stands beside the handcrafted, oak staircase with a matching oak door leading to understair storage. The far wall has a glazed back door opening directly into the enclosed back garden, and beside this stands a large and very useful, oak-fronted storage cupboard.

Great care has been taken with design keeping intrinsic original features of the barn, like the slate-silled window openings and exposed stone walls. A tiny window once hidden, halfway up the stairs adds interest and character and like all the other window openings, it has a deep slate sill and an old oak lintel above. Windows and exterior doors are painted in the same gentle muted grey-green, all with hand-forged pewter ironmongery.

Kitchen and Dining (5.1m x 4.4m)

To your left, an oak ledged plank door opens into a large country kitchen with it traditional shaker-style ivory-coloured cupboards and bespoke natural slate, worktop along with a lovely country range cooker, integrated dishwasher and space for a large fridge. Windows overlook the front garden towards Dartmoor and over the back garden to rolling green fields and trees beyond. The dining area, means family and guests can enjoy the togetherness, warmth and ambience when cooking is on the go. A door to the laundry room takes you through to more cupboards with a sink, and space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. Here there is also an unusual downstairs cloakroom with a curved and characterful wall (4.1m x 1.7m).

Sitting room (5.2m x 4.0m)

Opposite the kitchen on the other side of the hallway is a light-filled sitting room, the southeastern wall at the front being all window, once again taking advantage of an original giant opening. Natural oak flooring and an inviting cosy woodburner entice on chilly evenings. As throughout the barn, softly rendered internal walls mimic lime plaster with their rounded corners painted a gentle off-white. Original stonework is exposed on the inner wall and beside the back window is an inbuilt, oak-fronted cupboard, further accessing the understairs storage.

The Stairwell

The solid oak stairs, made by local craftsmen, lead you past a tiny original window set deep in the wall, and a narrow brick-edged alcove nestled in the exposed inner stone wall. Light pours down from the skylight above and reflects off the glass balustrades further spreading light through the barn

First Floor

At the top of the stairs, a most charming space awaits you, lending itself to a reading area or somewhere to just sit and ponder, to unwind with a cup of coffee in the sunshine. A large full-width window with distant views is perfect to relax in front of with a book or perhaps to watch the summer swallows. Behind you is a door to a really useful storage room with plenty of space for anything you choose.
Look up and in the vaulted ceilings are the original A-frames giving immense interest and character to the beautiful barn.

.And running through the hall and into the bedrooms is the stunning real oak plank flooring harmonising perfectly with the ledged oak plank doors and exposed stone walls.
Radiators warm the bedrooms and hallway upstairs.

Bedroom 1 (5.2m x 3.9m)

To your left as you reach the top of the stairs is the door to the master bedroom. A lovely room with its built-in, oak beamed and oak fronted cupboard, an unusual long low window with oak lintel above, two original A-frames in the vaulted ceiling, one being unusual with attached horizontal timbers, presumably once used for supporting farm machinery of some kind, and a lovely exposed stone wall.
An ensuite (3.2 sq m) with a shower adds to this delightful master bedroom. The shower is finished with a natural stone-looking tile and the basin stand has been hand-built in oak, and topped with slate on which a porcelain sink sits. The floor, although looking natural, is actually a ceramic non-slip slate which has its own underfloor electric heating. A heated towel rail and an electric point to enable shavers/toothbrushes or a cabinet of choice, has also been fitted.

Bedroom 2 (4.5m x 2.5m)

With its gently sloping ceiling, exposed A-frames, natural stone wall and deep-set window overlooking the back garden and fields beyond, bedroom 2 is a tranquil space having its own ensuite shower room (2.5m X 1.8m) which opens up from a low original entrance door. This room is of similar design and features to that of the master bedroom ensuite. An additional handy alcove and bright skylight add further interest to this lovely room.

Bedroom 3 (4.2m x 2.5m)

Bedroom 3 mirrors Barn 2 with its A-frames, stonework and window. Here it overlooks the front garden and over to Dartmoor beyond. In addition it has a built-in, oak-fronted cupboard and the ensuite differs with an oak panelled, enamelled bath and handheld shower head, yet retains all the natural design and features.

Gardens

To the front of the property, a gravelled parking space lies beside the lawned gardens bounded by low picket fencing. The large back garden provides the perfect opportunity to make the most of your green-fingered skills and is accessed from a gate near the barn. This leads down steps to a wide gravel path and to the back door. This 8ft path is wide enough to enjoy seating and barbecues during the summer months. The main grassy area is slightly elevated, retained by oak sleepers, and accessed by steps from the gravel path or else via the far gateway that runs straight onto the lawn enabling easy access for a ride-on mower or wheelbarrow. The 6ft fencing reduces down 3ft further out so as not to obscure the beautiful countryside views yet still provide a private space.

Garage and parking

Aside from the parking space at the front of the barn, there are also two convenient allocated spaces just three meters or so from the back garden fence. As well as this there is a further additional, extra-wide, parking space tucked away behind the garage barn. This would be perfect for a caravan, campervan or boat, or just somewhere else for visitors to park.

The garage has an up-and-over door that can be automated if ever wanted. Walls are plastered-boarded and skimmed. Here there is capacity for an electric car charger if required. A separate pedestrian door leads up a staircase taking you to the storage space which has an insulated roof so you don't get any condensation and dripping. This very useful, easily accessible room is also skimmed. The garage barn has an area of hard-standing behind it with a drain where you can wash your car with ease.
At the south-east side of the garage is the pump room. Here is where the borehole water treatment system is housed that provides bountiful natural water to all five barns.

Paddock

Tredown Barton has its own lovely half acre paddock, fenced on two sides, hedged at the end and gated. This versatile area of agricultural land, is accessed via a stone track from behind the garage barn. This can be used for grazing or for planting trees, maybe a pond or small stable or simply encouraging wildlife to make their way onto your patch. There are plenty of uses for this space to get you outside in all weathers and make the most of living in the country.
