EPC Bands: Barn E / Annexe D

Situation - This incredible home is located in a beautifully peaceful, edge-of-moorland location outside of the popular village of Peter Tavy, within Dartmoor National Park. The barn is surrounded by its own gardens and grounds amounting to 4.47 acres in all, providing a good level of privacy and scenic views on all sides (see our Location Plan). Cox Tor forms the backdrop to the property's rear aspect and is clearly visible from the gardens and paddock. One can use country lanes to access the foot of the Tor - and open Dartmoor beyond - within two miles. Peter Tavy itself is an unspoilt village situated close to the River Tavy in the quiet countryside of West Devon. The village features a medieval granite church, and a very well-known and popular public house. The thriving market town of Tavistock, including the highly sought-after independent school, Mount Kelly, is only 2.5 miles away to the southwest. The city of Plymouth is 18 miles to the south and the cathedral city of Exeter lies some 40 miles to the northeast, providing transport connections to London and the rest of the UK via its railway links and the M5 motorway, in addition to an international airport.

Description - An imposing and substantially built barn which was converted by our client between 1988 and 1989, and now provides some truly impressive, versatile accommodation. A number of striking and interesting features can be found within, including bespoke joinery throughout, a vaulted reception with central chimney column and mezzanine library area. A further 1-bedroom annexe was added 10 years ago, making the property suitable for multi-generational living and also opening up a potential income stream. Surrounding the barn are gardens and grounds amounting to 4.47 acres, comprising a formal walled garden, vegetable garden and orchard, as well as an attached paddock of 3.49 aces. This is an exceptional countryside home offering a superb lifestyle opportunity in close proximity to Tavistock.

Accommodation - The property is accessed from the main courtyard into a reception hall on the ground floor, where there are doors to each of the bedrooms and a bespoke staircase to the first floor. Separate external access can be obtained, via granite steps, straight into the main reception room. The main reception is a wonderfully impressive space, divided into a living area and a study, and centred around a large chimney column with log-burning stoves facing out on either side. Above the study is a mezzanine library area and at the far end of the reception is a home office (or potential 4th bedroom) fitted with full-height bookshelves to three walls. Also at first floor level are a WC, utility/pantry and the kitchen/dining room, which features an oil-fired Aga, large walk-in larder and granite worktops. On the ground floor are three double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. The master also benefits from several fitted wardrobes and provides internal access to the annexe.

Presented in excellent condition, the annexe can be accessed via its own hall/boot room, from where there are doors to a utility/boiler room with WC off, and the open-plan kitchen/reception room. The modern kitchen is complete with a good range of fitted units with integral AEG appliances. The sitting area features a log-burning stove on a slate hearth. The double bedroom is a good size, with a wet room en-suite.

Outside - The barn is served by some wonderfully varied gardens and grounds, including a 1/3rd-acre formal walled garden to the rear, plus a vegetable garden and an enclosed orchard. Directly adjoining the barn is an enclosed paddock of 3.49 acres, offering scope for keeping livestock or equestrian uses. The central courtyard provides ample parking for numerous vehicles, and there is a detached garage with power and lighting to one side.

Services - Mains water and electricity. Private drainage (septic tank), oil-fired central heating. 2x PV panels. Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
