Situation - This impressive countryside family home is located in a hugely private and peaceful position in the parish of Gulworthy, on the western outskirts of Tavistock. Gulworthy is largely situated within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) (although this barn sits outside of it) and forms part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area offers a very quaint and peaceful, semi-rural lifestyle in some extremely picturesque, verdant surroundings which are home to abundance of wildlife. The hamlet is centered around St Paul's Church, plus the neighbouring parish hall and Ofsted Outstanding-rated primary school. Tavistock itself is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. Plymouth, with its coastal access, is 16 miles to the south. The cathedral city of Exeter lies 37 miles to the northeast, providing railway and motorway connections to the rest of the UK, plus an international airport.
Description - This striking and substantial barn conversion dates to the mid-1800s, having originally formed part of a Duke of Bedford farmstead, and was converted circa 2008. It now provides some extremely flexible, family-oriented accommodation totalling approx. 2,450sq.ft, of a unique design characterised by large, bright rooms with vaulted ceilings, overlapping galleried rooms on the first floor, and high-quality, bespoke fixtures and joinery. In addition, many original features still exist including, most notably, some very attractive keystone brickwork arches in the bedrooms and the original woodturning mill wheel from which the property derives its name. Externally, the barn is complemented by some beautiful, varied gardens containing a detached stone piggery and a further attached barn which no doubt offers further potential for residential or ancillary development, STP.
Accommodation - The accommodation is largely open-plan and provides great versatility, with several reception areas that could be adapted for a variety of uses. The barn is first accessed at first floor level onto a galleried landing, currently used as a sizeable study area, from where there is access into the vaulted lounge which has patio doors leading out to the gardens. Descending to the ground floor, there is another large family room currently comprising a cosy sitting area around an open fire, plus a dining area which opens into the kitchen. Off the dining area is an extremely useful utility/boot room and a shower room. The kitchen is arranged around a central island, comprising various cupboards and units with black granite work surfaces, plus an oil-fired Rayburn and separate 4-ring gas hob. An inner hallway leads to the bedrooms and principal bathroom; the master bedroom currently provides access through to the third bedroom and bathroom. Beyond the third bedroom is an attached barn (accessible externally) which could be converted to additional accommodation, subject to planning.
Outside - Externally, the beautifully structured and varied gardens offer a great deal of appeal for those keen on the outdoors, including active families and budding horticulturalists alike. They are arranged into different areas of interest, including several areas of lawn, a productive fruit and vegetable garden, a pond garden and a sunken patio outside the kitchen. Additionally, there is a large walled garden on the barn's western side, a detached stone former piggery and courtyard potting area, plus an area of light copse and the former mill pond, giving the outside space very broad appeal. In all, the gardens are believed to extend to around 0.75 acres.
Services - Mains water and electricity. Shared private drainage (Klargester treatment plant). Oil-fired zoned underfloor heating and hot water. LPG hob.
Viewing - Viewings are strictly by prior appointment with the sellers' agents, Stags.
