An Skyber was originally an ancillary barn to the adjacent farmhouse which is believed to date back to the 1830’s. It was originally converted in 2005 but has been further updated and improved within the last couple of years by our clients. Every effort was made ensuring that the character and heritage of the building was preserved and today there are a wealth of character features throughout the accommodation including exposed beams, slated window cills and exposed stonework. Modern comforts are also in place giving the barn a luxurious feel including oil fired central heating, modern LED downlighting and double glazed external windows and doors. Curtains and fitted blinds will remain as part of the sale. The layout is part reversed so that some of the rooms can enjoy far reaching views over the garden, valley and moorland. For those who are green fingered, there are productive gardens including a large orchard. A garage, gymnasium and workshop, as well as fishing rights on the River Lynher, where there are many brown and sea trout to catch, complete the wonderful lifestyle that comes with living in this magical environment.
INTERIOR
Internally, the accommodation includes a useful large entrance porch which has a solid front door and a feature granite lintel and quoins beside the internal door which leads through into the main reception hall. The welcoming reception hallway is a large space with a tiled floor and a room in itself. From here, the turning stairs ascend to the first floor. The luxury fitted kitchen is dual aspect and light and airy with a country style kitchen with solid granite worksurfaces and cream matching wall and base cupboards. There is concealed under lighting, a tiled floor and a stable door which serves the rear garden. Included in the sale are many high specification integrated and free standing units such as a slim line dishwasher, Smeg range cooker with induction hob, Sirius extractor canopy and washing machine. Our clients have recently extended the kitchen to incorporate a separate breakfast area which has room for an American style fridge and freezer (included in the sale) and a breakfast bar enjoying a view down the valley. Moving through, the formal dining room is large enough for a substantial table and has further storage units built in with a wall mounted smart television included in the sale. The room also has an external access to the front and a large walk in cupboard which houses the oil fired central heating boiler. Out of the three bedrooms, one is found on the ground floor and accessed off the entrance hallway, it is a double room and like the dining room has a laminated floor. The dual aspect room has a range of fitted wardrobes. Conveniently positioned is the adjacent ground floor shower room/WC which is fully tiled with a main shower unit.
On the first floor, the landing features a large balcony which is the perfect place to enjoy the view. The main sitting room is triple aspect and features both an ancient granite mullion window and in the corner a Clock 5KW Defra approved multi fuel burner which is set in an attractive fire surround featuring Cornish stone, granite and slate. The high ceiling features some exposed beams and high above is a loft storage area which is boarded and lit with access via a retractable ladder. The master bedroom has a superb range of fitted bedroom furniture to include, wardrobes, cupboards, bedside units, drawers and a dressing table. Bedroom three is a smaller double bedroom but could be used as a study if so required. These rooms share use of the family bathroom/WC which has a matching suite and features an ornate radiator. The accommodation flows well and could be flexible to suit a buyer’s needs.
Across the driveway is a run of most attractive outbuildings with a veranda. They comprise of a workshop which has power and light and adjacent is a small gymnasium. The gym has a fully fitted “Stauna” (infrared steam/sauna), which has mood lighting and a phone dock and is included in the sale. These buildings could have scope (subject to obtaining all necessary consents) to be converted if required into additional ancillary accommodation or potentially a holiday let. The large single garage which was built to a high standard, is a good size with double opening front doors, a rear courtesy door and a large mezzanine platform above for storage. It is double skinned and insulated with worktop and cupboard areas having light assisted by roof windows.
GROUNDS
An Skyber, is approached by a wide entrance gate that serves the sweeping gravelled driveway which has plenty of room for parking and turning. The grounds in all, extend to over two acres and break down as cultivated garden, lawn, meadow land and orchard. The gardens offer something for everyone with the plot gently descending down to the banks of the River Lynher. For the green fingered gardener, there is a large powder coated aluminium greenhouse with a separate potting area and automatic opening windows. At the side, are raised vegetable beds with rich soil for growing fine produce. A further lawn with log store and shed will be found. At the rear of the barn is a paved patio area and attractive pergola with a Canadian Spa hot tub beneath, which is included in the sale.
The large lawn is ideal for those with pets or children to consider, a variety of colour can be displayed all year round from the many shrubs, bushes and perennials that are found including, rhododendrons, camellias, magnolias, these shrubs, as well as others, are found in the water garden area where there is a large pond with water feature and a strategically placed log cabin found to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the delightful environment. The large orchard area is well stocked with fruit trees to include many varieties of apple. Many specimen trees such as oak, hazel, sycamore and silver birch can be found within the grounds. The beautiful River Lynher meanders its way through the bottom of the meadow giving plenty of opportunity for the keen angler to have a go at catching the many brown and sea trout and occasional salmon that grace the waters. A further stream provides a border, where there are at the right time of year a blanket of snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells to enjoy. The garden is a rich habitat for much wildlife and offers many places to sit and relax with escapism from busy day to day life.
